A HIGH-G ACCELEROMETER CALIBRATOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841849

To calibrate accelerometers for subsequent use in water-entry shock tests, a technique using a shock-cord accelerator was devised to subject the accelerometers to a 10,000-g, 300-microsecond shock pulse in the laboratory. The new calibration technique overcomes several previous limitations of shock-cord machines. (auth)
