Calibration of Accelerometers

For Accelerometers Brüel & Kjær can provide Accredited Calibration and Traceable Calibration.

Accredited Calibration

For accelerometers Brüel & Kjær can provide accredited calibration. An accredited certificate will be accepted without discussion from your customers or auditing authorities.

Brüel & Kjær can provide these types of accreditations for Brüel & Kjær accelerometers:

• DANAK (English certificate)
• A2LA (English certificate)
• UKAS (English certificate
• DKD (German certificate)
• NATA (English certificate)

Initial Calibration

Most types of accelerometers from Brüel & Kjær are delivered with the manufacturer’s measured calibration data. To start the accredited calibration history from day one, we recommend that you order accredited calibration together with your new instrument.

Regular Re-calibration

Brüel & Kjær recommends annual re-calibration to provide data for unbroken calibration history to use as reference, either for internal requirements, for audit required by authorities or at the request of your customers. The shorter the period between calibrations, the lower the risks that measurement is questioned.

Measurements

Calibration of accelerometers is performed in the range 1Hz to 20kHz.

Measurements are according to IEC 16063 and to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Measurements are traceable to, for example, NIST and PTB.

Certificate

With the accredited certificate you get:

• Proof that calibration has been performed according to quality requirements in ISO 17025
• Frequency response curve and measured uncertainty
• Internationally accepted certificate
• Calibration conditions: Air temperature, air pressure and relative humidity
• The logo of the Accreditation Body
