Full title and description

St ISO 5347-18-1993 — Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock pick-ups — Part 18: Testing of transient temperature sensitivity. This part of ISO 5347 specifies instrumentation and the procedural method for measuring the output of piezoelectric vibration/shock pick-ups in response to sudden (transient) temperature changes.

Abstract

Provides detailed specifications for the apparatus and step-by-step procedure to perform transient temperature sensitivity tests on piezoelectric pick-ups, measuring pick-up output caused by abrupt temperature change. Intended to ensure repeatable, comparable test results for calibration and evaluation of temperature-induced output effects.

Scope

This part of ISO 5347 applies to piezoelectric vibration and shock pick-ups and defines the test conditions, instrumentation requirements and the procedural sequence for measuring pick-up output produced by sudden temperature changes (transient temperature sensitivity). It is intended for use in calibration laboratories and by manufacturers and test houses that need to characterise or control temperature-transient effects on dynamic sensors.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and purpose of transient temperature sensitivity testing for piezoelectric pick-ups.
• Instrumentation and apparatus specifications required to produce and measure abrupt temperature changes and resulting sensor outputs.
• Step-by-step test procedure and sequence to ensure repeatable measurements.
• Test conditions and environmental considerations to minimise external influences on the transient response.
• Applicability limited to piezoelectric pick-ups; the standard targets measurement of output caused specifically by sudden temperature change rather than steady-state temperature sensitivity.

Typical use and users

Used by national and accredited calibration laboratories, sensor manufacturers (design and QA teams), metrology institutes, test houses and research organisations working with vibration and shock sensors. Typical applications include sensor qualification, production testing, failure analysis where temperature transients are suspected, and establishing calibration procedures that account for transient thermal effects.

Related standards

ISO 5347 is a multipart series covering methods for the calibration of vibration and shock pick-ups; other parts address different calibration techniques (for example, centrifuge primary calibration and other test methods). Users commonly consult other ISO 5347 parts and related vibration/shock measurement standards when establishing full calibration programs.
