A Test Facility for the Calibration of Pressure and Acceleration Transducers by a Continuous Sweep Method.

Abstract

The equipment described enables quick and accurate calibration of absolute, differential and gauge pressure transducers with range maxima between 350Pa and 35MPa (0.05 lb/sqin and 5000 lb/sqin) and accelerometers with range maxima between 1.0g sub n and 100g sub n. Both types of transducer are calibrated by subjecting them and an accurate reference transducer to a continuous sweep of input parameter. Graphs are drawn by an X-Y recorder of either the direct output of the transducer under test or its output suitably processed to show departures from the ideal nominal linear output.
