ISO 16063-13:2001, Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers - Part 13: Primary shock calibration using laser interferometry

This part of ISO 16063 specifies the instrumentation and procedure to be used for primary shock calibration of rectilinear accelerometers, using laser interferometry to sense the time-dependent displacement during the shock. The method is applicable in a shock pulse duration range 0,05 ms to 10 ms and a range of peak values of 102 m/s2 to 105 m/s2 (pulse-duration dependent). The method allows the shock sensitivity to be obtained.
