How to Calibrate Piezoresistive Accelerometers with 9140 Series

ISO 17025 Compliant Calibration Certificates for Piezoresistive Accelerometers Using Portable System

The Modal Shop’s Portable Vibration Calibration System 9140 Series supports ICP and charge accelerometers with its built-in signal conditioning. Did you know that you are not limited to testing just these types of sensors? By adding an appropriate signal conditioner, a wide range of other sensor types can be calibrated. Watch the video to learn how to create an ISO 17025 compliant calibration certificate for a piezoresistive accelerometer with 9140 Series.

Equipment Needed to Calibrate Piezoresistive Accelerometers

Why use a Portable Vibration Calibration System to Validate Piezoresistive Accelerometers?

Why use a Portable Vibration Calibration System? Let’s take the example of calibrating piezoresistive accelerometers used in automotive crash testing. In order to test these very low sensitivity sensors, the known input amplitude needs to be relatively high. Some handheld calibrators may be able to reach that amplitude at a typical reference frequency for a single point test. 9140 Series can maintain a high amplitude across a broad frequency range, allowing you to go beyond spot-checking. With a Portable Vibration Calibration System, perform accredited calibrations onsite with fully-featured software that offers laboratory style control, automation with pass-fail results, and databasing of measurements.
