StandardDetails

This part of ISO 16063 specifies the instrumentation and procedures to be used for secondary shock calibration of rectilinear transducers, using a reference acceleration, velocity or force measurement for the time-dependent shock. The methods are applicable in a shock pulse duration range1) of 0,05 ms to 8,0 ms, and a dynamic range (peak value) of 100 m/s2 to 100 km/s2 (time-dependent). The methods allow the transducer shock sensitivity (i.e. the relationship between the peak values of the transducer output quantity and the acceleration) to be obtained. These methods are not intended for the calibration of dynamic force transducers used in modal analysis. NOTE 1 This part of ISO 16063 is aimed at users engaged in shock measurements requiring traceability as stated in ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025. NOTE 2 The methods specified in this part of ISO 16063 are based on the measurement of the time history of the acceleration. These methods fundamentally deviate from another shock calibration method that is based on the principle of the change in velocity, described in ISO 16063-1. The shock sensitivity therefore differs fundamentally from the shock calibration factor obtained by the latter method, but is in compliance with the shock sensitivity stated in ISO 16063-13.
