    1. The document describes the calibration of an accelerometer and force transducer. For the accelerometer, sensitivity values were measured at different frequencies and amplitudes and found to be within 3% of the model sensitivity of 10mV/g. 2. For the force transducer, sensitivity was calculated for different masses and amplitudes and found to be approximately 2.5mV/N regardless of other test parameters. 3. Both calibration factors were considered valid as the sensitivity values were consistent across varying test conditions for each device.

    Lab#5: Calibration of Force transducer and Accelerometer

    MEEM 4701
    By Adit Manurkar
    Calibration factors for Accelerometer are
    1. For the calibration of accelerometer (Model 356A33 SN: 33199), amplitude was varied
    keeping with constant frequency. The table is shown for the sensitivity values(in mV/g)
    for accelerometer:
    g value
    1g
    1.25g
    1.5g
    1.75g
    2.0g

    800 Hz
    10.236

    1000Hz
    10.293
    10.281
    10.292
    10.295
    10.297

    1200Hz
    10.352

    1400Hz
    10.414

    1600Hz
    10.489

    For the model, I used model has sensitivity as 10mV/g. We got the values in range of
    +3% error. The calibration factor which is sensitivity of the accelerometer depends on the
    g value which is amplitude, also it depends upon the frequency of the input signal.
    It also depends on the mounting technique for the accelerometer. The tight gap between
    the accelerometer and the pad gives us the better accuracy for sensitivity values.

    2. For the force transducer, calibration factor depends on the mass on the force transducer,
    also it depends on the g value we have. For the different frequency values, the
    sensitivity remains same.

    0.02V
    0.02V
    0.01V
    2.54mV
    3.77mV

    The sensitivity is calculated for each mass with mV/N values. The values we get comes
    around 2.5mV/N. I can say it is valid as for the different mass I got the same values
    irrespective of the g values and frequency values. These two are the calibration factors
    as I mentioned earlier, Hence I considered them to be valid.
