Need to consider
• maximum operating temperature
• exposure to harmful chemicals
• humidity.
Industrial accelerometers built - from stainless steel can
protect the sensors from corrosion and chemicals.
Example
10mV/g (sensitivity)
+/- 500 g peak
0.5 Hz to 10 kHz
Stud mounting
Sensitivity – if this device is subjected to an acceleration
of 1 g it will produce a voltage output of 10 mV.
Also note: peak to peak, rms and average value are used
in the measurement.
A typical hand held device for
measuring the vibrations of a surface.
No frequency discrimination – rms and
peak to peak measurements.
