Abstract / scope
Lays down detailed specifications for the instrumentation and procedure to be used for secondary shock calibration of accelerometers. Applies to rectilinear accelerometers of the strain gauge, piezoresistive and piezoelectric types and to secondary standard accelerometers. Is applicable for a time range from 0,1 ms to 10 ms and a dynamic range from 100 m/s^2 to 10^5 m/s^2. The limits of uncertainty applicable are ± 5 % of the reading.
