Abstract
At the angle metrology laboratory of the Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRiM, formerly IMGC), an instrument to generate very small angles has been recently developed. It is a sine-bar angle generator based on an elastic hinge and a piezocapacitive device. The facility can be used to calibrate precise angle measuring instruments (levels, autocollimators, etc) in a range of 120 µrad with an uncertainty of about 20 nrad and a sensitivity of fractions of a nanoradian. The working principle and metrological characterization are presented.
