Overview
DIN ISO 16063-16 This part of ISO 16063 specifies the instrumentation and procedure to be used for performing primary calibration of accelerometers using Earth's gravitation. It is applicable to rectilinear accelerometers with DC (zero hertz frequency) response, such as straingauge, piezoresistive, variable capacitance, and servo accelerometer types. This part of ISO 16063 is applicable to the calibration of the magnitude of the sensitivity, referenced to the acceleration due to the local gravitation at 0 Hz. This part of ISO 16063 is applicable to reference standard accelerometers and working standard accelerometers, as well as complete acceleration measurement chain (accelerometer complete with amplifier and readout unit). The International Standard ISO 16063-16.2:2014 is the corrected version of the original issued on 2014-06-01 issued by the ISO on 2015-05-01, but with errors. It has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 108 "Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring", Subcommittee SC 3 "Use and calibration of vibration and shock measuring instruments", the secretariat of which is held by DS (Denmark). Regarding the German collaboration the responsible committee is NA 001-03-02 (NALS/VDI C 2) "Vibration Measurement" of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDI.
