BDI Accelerometer
The BDI Accelerometer has been expressly designed for structural testing in tough field conditions. These
accurate, rugged and fully-weatherproofed units can be installed very quickly and come in ranges between
+2g and +100g.

Highlights:
• Completely reusable
• Water and weather resistant
• Gas Damped Applications:
• Overrange stops for shock protection
• Compatible with most data acquisition systems
Structure modal analysis
• Various mounting options available Earthquake monitoring
• Field-grade instrumentation cable, any length available Cable force measurements
