The need for accelerometer training is widespread, not just for direct test users but also for designers, specifiers, managers and anyone that touches the world of vibration. Vibration measurement in any application is a great example of the old addage ‘Rubbish in = Rubbish out’. Whilst the world of data acquisition and vibration analysis has come on leaps and bounds over the last 20 years, making it easy for a test engineer to acquire data and create pretty looking graphs, it is all for nothing if the sensor is not right for the job.
In this accelerometer training course we aim to educate engineers about the basics and how to get it right from the first point in the measurement system. It is essential to understand how accelerometers work to be able to correctly use them and maximise data accuracy. Dynamic vibration testing is an unforgiving test regime and one that requires careful engineering application.
This course can be used towards your continuous professional development goals (CPD), all attendees for live face to face events will receive a certificate of attendance (not applicable for online events).
The course content includes:
- Introduction to accelerometers
- History of Piezoelectrics
- Key principles of physics
- The principles of operation
- Types of Accelerometer, PE (Charge), IEPE, MEMS
- Accelerometer selection
- Mass loading effects
- Accelerometer calibration methods
- Cross axis errors
- Importance of correct cable use
- Triboelectric noise
- Dealing with other noise sources
- Accelerometer mounting
- Associated instrumentation
