Vibration & Accelerometer Calibration

A newer capability, held to the same standard as the rest of the lab.

Vibration and accelerometer calibration is one of the most recent additions to the American Gage lab. We calibrate accelerometers and vibration sensors by the back-to-back comparison method — mounting the unit under test against a NIST-traceable reference accelerometer on a controlled shaker and comparing sensitivity across the tested range. Certificates document as-found/as-left results with the reference standards used and their traceability. Because ranges and available frequencies for this capability are still expanding, contact the lab to confirm coverage for your specific sensor.
