BS 6955-10:1994

This standard BS 6955-10:1994 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 high impact shock calibration of accelerometers. It applies to rectilinear accelerometers, mainly of the piezoelectric and piezoresistive type, to primary standards and working accelerometers.

This part of ISO 5347 is applicable for a time range from 10 µs to 100 µs and a dynamic range from 10³ m/s² to 10⁵ m/s².

The limit of uncertainty applicable is ± 10 % of reading.
