G-TECH Establishes a TAF-Accredited Vibration Laboratory
G-TECH Insights Newsletter: 2016-01-15
On this latest edition of the G-TECH Newsletter, we discuss G-TECH's proud establishment of a TAF-accredited vibration laboratory, as well as accelerometer calibration methods.
Accredited once, Accepted everywhere - TAF Vibration Laboratory
To serve our customers and improve calibration capabilities, G-TECH established a vibration calibration laboratory and was officially accredited by TAF in 2014 (laboratory number 2977) to provide our clients with a fair and objective international calibration report. The TAF calibration laboratory is in compliance with ISO17025, and its calibration method follows ISO16063-21 and has been accredited.
[Accredited once, Accepted everywhere], the calibration results can be recognized by 73 certification bodies in 60 economic entities worldwide. This includes the United States, Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, and so on. Currently, G-TECH provides calibration services for accelerometers and vibrometers.
Accelerometer Calibration Methods
ISO 16063-21:2003 Methods for calibration of vibration and shock transducers - Part 21 Vibration calibration by comparison to reference transducer
In short, it is a "back-to-back" comparison method. The main method is to mount the accelerometer to be calibrated back-to-back with the standard accelerometer on a shaker. A waveform generator is used to input the frequency and vibration magnitude to be calibrated, and the difference between the calibration and the standard transducer is compared.
