Abstract / scope
Lays down detailed specifications for the instrumentation and procedure to be used for transverse shock sensitivity testing. Applies to rectilinear accelerometers of the strain gauge, piezoresistive and piezoelectric type. Is applicable for a time range from 0,01 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 ± 20 % of reading.
