Abstract: In a method for measuring the injection quantity of injection systems, in particular for motor vehicles and in particular in production testing, an injection system injects a testing fluid into a measuring chamber. A detection device detects a movement of a piston, which at least partially defines the measuring chamber. This detection device generates a corresponding measurement signal. In order to increase the precision of the calculation of the injected testing fluid mass, the invention proposes that the pressure of the testing fluid in the measuring chamber be detected and that the measurement signal be processed taking into account the detected pressure.

Abstract: In a method for measuring the injection quantity of injection systems (32, 33), in particular for motor vehicles and in particular in production testing, an injection system (32, 33) injects a testing fluid into a measuring chamber (45). A detection device (68) detects a movement of a piston (40), which at least partially defines the measuring chamber (45). This detection device (68) generates a corresponding measurement signal (sm). In order to increase the precision of the calculation of the injected testing fluid mass, the invention proposes that the pressure (p) of the testing fluid in the measuring chamber (45) be detected and that the measurement signal (sm) be processed (80) taking into account the detected pressure (p).

Abstract: An apparatus (10) for measuring the injection quantity of injection systems (32), in particular for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles and especially in production testing, includes a measurement chamber (45). A connecting device (28) is also provided, by which at least one injection system (32) can be made to communicate with the measurement chamber (45) in pressuretight fashion. A piston (40) is passed through a wall of the measurement chamber (45). A detection device (58) is also provided, with which a motion of the piston (40) can be detected. To increase the measurement accuracy of the apparatus (10), it is proposed that the detection device (58) function in noncontacting fashion.

Abstract: Motor vehicle components that function in accordance with the operating state of a fuel injection pump require a load signal from the pump that represents an accurate quantity relationship, so that they can function in a properly adapted manner. The accurate quantity relationship is attained in that initially, by mechanical means, two additional stops, temporarily lengthened by a spacer gauge, on the pump limit the rotation of an adjusting lever. The conversion into an electrical signal is effected via a potentiometer coupled to the adjusting lever, the characteristic curve of the potentiometer being effected in such a way, in a calibration process by means of laser trimming of two compensating resistors connected in series with the potentiometer, that the set-point voltages with which predetermined quantities are associated are attained at both stops. This reference voltage is suitable for triggering succeeding components of the fuel injection pump.
