Accelerometer calibration
For accelerometers, Brüel & Kjær can provide accredited calibration and traceable calibration. Regular accredited and traceable calibrations ensure that your accelerometer is working correctly and provides proof of measurement accuracy
Request CalibrationAccredited calibration
An accredited certificate will be accepted without discussion from your customers or auditing authorities. Brüel & Kjær can provide the following types of accreditations for Brüel & Kjær accelerometers:
- DANAK (English certificate)
- A2LA (English certificate)
- DAkkS (German certificate)
- NATA (English certificate)
Initial calibration
To start the accredited calibration history from day one, we recommend that you take advantage of our accredited-calibration services when you purchase your new accelerometer.
Re-calibration
Brüel & Kjær recommends annual re-calibration to provide data for an unbroken calibration history to use as a reference, either for internal requirements, for auditing required by authorities or at the request of your customers. The shorter the period between calibrations, the lower the risk of questionable measurements.
