Calibrating Air Blast Transducers with the PCB Dynamic Pressure Pulse Calibrator

Abstract

Air blast pressures resulting from the detonation of explosives are measured using air blast transducers. These transducers require calibration to ensure that air blast records from explosive experiments are accurate and traceable to recognised standards. This paper details a calibration system and methodology for low range air blast pressure transducers
