3629-B  Comparison Calibration System (Frequency Range 10 Hz - 12.8 kHz)

Vibration Transducer Calibration System Type 3629 is an easy-to-use, automatic calibration system that provides traceable calibration of a wide range of transducers.

The hardware for the basic system with Low Shock Calibration Software Type 5310 consists of a Portable PULSE™ front-end, which provides the necessary inputs, conditioners and a Comparison Shock Calibrator for shock generation.


Uses

  • Shock calibration up to 10 000 g (100 000 m/s2) of transducers according to ISO 16063-22
  • Fast and accurate amplitude linearity calibration of transducers
  • Generation of complete certificates in Microsoft® Word according to ISO 17025
  • Supervision of measuring instrumentation according to ISO 9000 and SAE J211/ISO 6487 (impact tests on road vehicles)

Features

  • Comparison shock calibration using a calibrated reference accelerometer
  • Choice of one level multi-shock or multi-level linearity calibration with ™best line’ fitting
  • Maximum calculation from multiple samples to avoid effects from irregular pulse shapes or ringing
  • Calculation of zero-shift
  • Determination of pulse duration
  • Low expanded calibration uncertainty (1.0% @ 20 to 2 000 g)
  • Automated calibration provides ease-of-use, yet fault-proof results
  • Customer database for handling of data and inventory following ISO 17025
  • Shock range 20 g to 10 000 g, depending on exciter and reference transducer
  • Calibrates practically all transducer types: charge, DeltaTron® (constant current), piezoresistive, variable capacitance, voltage, and servo
  • Automated system calibration and subsequent use of data for correction
  • Automated conditioner calibration and subsequent use of data for correction
  • User-defined calibration levels depending on exciter and reference transducer
  • Based on proven Brüel & Kjær PULSE Multi-analyzer technology
  • Brüel & Kjær back-up including staff training and system maintenance (optional)

System Description

Vibration Transducer Calibration System Type 3629 with software Type 5310 is an easy-to-use, automatic calibration system that provides comparison shock calibration of a wide range of transducers.

The hardware for the basic system consists of a PULSE front-end, which provides the necessary inputs and a shock exciter. The front-end is connected via Ethernet to a standard PC (desktop or laptop). To accommodate the output of the two transducers, two inputs are used. For typical pulse durations and levels up to 2000 g, PULSE front-ends with 25 kHz bandwidth can be used. At higher levels or shorter durations, 200 kHz bandwidth inputs are recommended. Two Charge Converters Type 2647-W-003 with 0.1 mV/pC gain are used to accommodate the large signals at high levels for most piezoelectric transducers. Optionally, a two channel NEXUS™ Type 2692-W-001 can be used.

Low Shock Transducer Calibration Software Type 5310 runs on the PC with no external processing, which means that software performance increases in line with general PC development. The operating system used can be Microsoft® Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP, giving familiar user interfaces. Data and status are displayed on the screen. Data and results are stored on the hard disk of the computer, and can be printed out for a hard copy. A Microsoft® Access database, which is accessed transparently by the control software, is used for the storage and organisation of data. Microsoft® Word is used for the generation of certificates using templates that can easily be modified by the user.

You do not need to be proficient in Word, although basic familiarity with it simplifies the creation of customised reports. Nor do you need to be familiar with Windows® to operate Type 3629 – only rudimentary computer proficiency is required. Furthermore, three different user-levels giving access to different menus are included for maximum security.
