THE SET UP OF PRIMARY CALIBRATION SYSTEM FOR SHOCK ACCELERATION IN NML

摘要

This paper mainly describes Taiwan's metrology NML (National Measurement Laboratory) to set up and evaluate a shock accelerometer calibration system which follows the ISO 16063-13:2001 standard. The environmental shock testing of electro-acoustics or electronic spare parts, the product packing falling impact, the automobile collision and the helmet impact test and so on are more and more important for quality and safety. In consideration of that, NML has started to establish the primary shock calibration system which calibrates the accelerometer sensitivity and trace to the metric unit since 2009. The shock machine structure comprises three parts; they are the electromagnetic high-speed hammer, airborne hammer and airborne anvil. The shock machine impact source of primary shock calibration system is excited by electromagnetic method.
