Accelerometers vs Geophones. Which is Best?
October 16, 2023

We had the pleasure of sitting down with out Technical Director, John Shelton to discuss his background and his thoughts on vibration instrumentation past and present. It depends on the application, they are both vibration transducers. Acceleration and velocity are both vibration just different descriptors of vibrations. So in that sense they are both good […]

What is Traceability in Calibration?
October 04, 2023

Traceability in calibration refers to the ability to trace the measurement results of a device or instrument back to a known and internationally recognised standard. In essence, it’s a chain of comparisons that ensures the accuracy of measurements. This chain typically includes various levels, starting from the measurement instrument used, the reference standards it’s calibrated […]

In Terms of Vibration, What Was Your First Experience With Vibration Instrumentation?
September 12, 2023

With the B&K 2209, octave filter sets allowed you to do octave analysis, however only one octave at a time with no real time analysis.  We also used an integrator which screwed onto the top of  a meter instead of a microphone and a switch at the top allowed you to switch between accelerometers or […]

Why You Should Calibrate Your Instruments
August 14, 2023

Calibration is a fundamental process that applies to various types of measuring instruments, ensuring their accuracy, reliability, and traceability. Calibration involves comparing the readings of an instrument to a known reference standard or a traceable measurement. Here are the key reasons why it is necessary to calibrate instruments: Accuracy and Reliability: Over time, instruments can […]

What is Traceable Calibration?
July 03, 2023

Traceable calibration refers to the process of verifying and adjusting the accuracy of a measuring instrument or device using a known reference standard that is directly traceable to a national or international measurement standard. The purpose of traceable calibration is to ensure that the instrument’s measurements are reliable and consistent, thus providing confidence in the […]
