Gives detailed specifications for instrumentation and methods for use in accelerometer resonance testing.

ISO 5347 comprises a series of documents dealing with methods for the calibration of vibration and shock pick-ups.

This part of ISO 5347 lays down detailed specifications for the instrumentation and procedures to be used for accelerometer resonance testing. It applies to rectilinear accelerometers of the piezoresistive, piezoelectric and variable capacitance types in the frequency range 50 Hz to 200 kHz.

The procedures are in general contrary to those described in ISO 5347-14 which is limited to undamped accelerometers. The frequency response of a piezoelectric accelerometer depends on the value of the (lowest) resonance frequency of the instrument when mounted on the structure to be tested. It does not appear possible to specify a test which will determine this frequency for all installations of a given accelerometer. This procedure gives the accelerometer resonance frequency under a set of standard reproducible conditions, with the understanding that the resonance frequency in actual use will in all probability be appreciably different (generally lower, by a factor depending on the mass and compliance of the test structure and the method of attachment). The procedure is not suitable for evaluating the mounted resonance frequency for a field of application; a suitable method is given in ISO 5348.
