Dynamic Impulse Calibration of 100 MPa Blast Pressure Transducers

Abstract

Maritime Platforms Division (MPD) has manufactured a calibrator for determining the sensitivities of air blast and underwater pressure transducers with nominal ranges up to 100,000 kPa, which is the design limit of the transfer standard used. This paper describes the design of the calibrator, the process and analysis used to provide traceable calibration results.
