Axial Thrust Measurement System Certification for Propulsion Development Test Cell J-2

Abstract

This report presents the results of investigations and calibrations performed during the certification and initial use of the J-2 force measuring system. The system accuracy and operating characteristics were determined and are presented. Specific potential problem areas were identified and investigated and the results are shown. It was determined that the force measuring systems is capable of meeting force measurement needs resulting from present and projected test article performance requirements.
