ISO 16063-17

Description / Abstract: ISO 16063 comprises a series of documents dealing with methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers.

This part of ISO 16063 lays down detailed specifications for the instrumentation and procedure to be used for primary calibration of accelerometers using centrifuge calibration.

This part of ISO 16063 is applicable to rectilinear accelerometers with zero-frequency response, mainly of the strain gauge or piezoresistive type, and to primary standard and working transducers.

It is applicable for a calibration range from 10 m/s² to 20 000 m/s² (higher accelerations possible) at 0 Hz.

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