Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers - Part 11 : primary vibration calibration by laser interferometry
This part of ISO 16063 specifies the instrumentation and procedure to be used for primary vibration calibration ofrectilinear accelerometers (with or without amplifier) to obtain magnitude and phase lag of the complex sensitivityby steady-state sinusoidal vibration and laser interferometry.It is applicable to a frequency range from 1 Hz to 10 kHz and a dynamic range (amplitude) from 0,1 m/s2 to1 000 m/s2 (frequency-dependent).These ranges are covered with the uncertainty of measurement specified in clause 2. Calibration frequencies lowerthan 1 Hz (e.g. 0,4 Hz, which is a reference frequency used in other International Standards) and accelerationamplitudes smaller than 0,1 m/s2 (e.g. 0,004 m/s2 at 1 Hz) can be achieved using Method 3 specified in this part ofISO 16063, in conjunction with an appropriate low-frequency vibration generator.Method 1 (fringe-counting method) is applicable to sensitivity magnitude calibration in the frequency range 1 Hz to800 Hz and, under special conditions, at higher frequencies (cf. clause 7). Method 2 (minimum-point method) canbe used for sensitivity magnitude calibration in the frequency range 800 Hz to 10 kHz (cf. clause 8). Method 3(sine-approximation method) can be used for magnitude of sensitivity and phase calibration in the frequency range1 Hz to 10 kHz (cf. clause 9).Methods 1 and 3 provide for calibrations at fixed acceleration amplitudes at various frequencies. Method 2 requirescalibrations at fixed displacement amplitudes (acceleration amplitude varies with frequency).

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
