Accelerometer Calibration

Quick & Easy Calibration

Calibrate a vibration accelerometer to determine its sensitivity at various frequencies of interest. Vibration Research uses the most convenient and least expensive technique (per ISO 16063-21): the back-to-back comparison method, approved by the International Society of Automation (ISA).

10-minute Procedure

• Preloaded Sine test profile: select, adjust if needed, and run
• Automatically generate a report (customizable template included)
• Compare sensitivities and save new values; VibrationVIEW reads and re-writes to TEDS

Why Calibrate?

• Early detection of incorrect sensor sensitivity​
• Discover sensor defects​
• Confidence in your test results

Save Time & Money

Vibration Research knows your time is valuable. Its accelerometer calibration package eliminates the need to pack and ship each accelerometer to be calibrated, reducing your downtime.

You can use the calibration package on all your accelerometers for one price, time and time again. Simply set up each unit for calibration, run the 10-minute verification procedure, retrieve the report, and continue with your day.

Custom Reporting

Use the standard report template or customize your report using Microsoft Word. Vibration Research offers one of the most flexible custom reporting packages.

Typical Measurement Uncertainty

• 3Hz to 20Hz:  2.1%
• 20Hz to 100Hz:  2%
• 100Hz to 2.5kHz:  1.5%
• 2.5kHz to 10kHz:  2.8%
