Recommended Transducer :
Bruel & Kjaer 4370 piezoelectric accelerometer with a nominal sensitivity of 10 pC/ms-2 ~ 100 pC/g
Measurement Ranges : - with 4370 accelerometer.
Acceleration
0.3 Hz
0.002 - 100 ms-2
0.0002 - 10 g
Velocity
3 Hz
0.02 - 1000 mm/s
0.001 - 100 in/s
Displacement
10 Hz
0.0003 - 10 mm
0.00002 - 1 inch
The above figures are for wide band measurements.
The minimum levels are RMS and are 6 dB (2 x) above the wide band instrument RMS noise level.
If the next lower low frequency setting is selected, then the minimum limit for velocity measurements is a factor of 3 to 4 higher.
The next lower low frequency for displacement settings will increase the minimum limit by 10 times.
Accuracy : including accelerometer is ± 5 % absolute overall within linear ranges.
