BS 6955-7:1994

This standard BS 6955-7:1994 Calibration of vibration and shock pick-ups is classified in these ICS categories:

• 17.160 Vibrations, shock and vibration measurements

ISO 5347 comprises a series of documents dealing with methods for the calibration of vibration and shock pick-ups.

This part of ISO 5347 lays down detailed specifications for the instrumentation and procedure to be used for primary calibration of accelerometers using centrifuge calibration.

This part of ISO 5347 applies to rectilinear accelerometers with zero-frequency response, mainly of the strain gauge or piezoresistive type, and to primary standard and working pick-ups.

It is applicable for a calibration range from 10 m/s² to 1 000 m/s² (higher accelerations possible) at 0 Hz.

The limits of uncertainty applicable are ± 1 % of reading.
