Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock pick-ups — Part 5: Calibration by Earth's gravitation

Lays down detailed specifications for the instrumentation and procedure to be used for primary calibration of accelerometers using Earth's gravitation. Applies to rectilinear accelerometers with zero-frequency response, mainly of the strain gauge or piezoresistive type, to servopick-ups, and to primary standard and working pick-ups. Is applicable for ± local Earth's gravitation at 0 Hz. The limits of uncertainty applicable are ± 0,01 m/s^2.
