Description
There are specific applications which require measurement tools with very low frequency response capability. For instance, amusement park rides, aerospace flight applications, rail-car coupling impacts, and vehicle crash testing all possess unique dynamic characteristics; low frequency response, long duration, constant acceleration. Instruments using hardware/accelerometers with DC-response are best suited to accurately and precisely measure these low frequency dynamics. The SAVER 3D15 uses MEMS technology accelerometers, possessing DC-response measurement capability.
The SAVER 3D15 uses the identical chassis and casing as the industry leading measurement instrument, the 3X90. Traditionally, the power requirement for DC-response hardware has limited their field applications, however its innovative design allows for 15 days of continual run time on one set of batteries.
Field Applications:
- Rail impact recording
- Roller coaster measurements
- Aerospace dynamic analysis
- Crash recording
- Brake testing
- Seismic measurements
Measurement and Analysis Applications:
- Define product’s in-use environmental characteristics
- Capture time history and frequency data to replicate in a laboratory
- Verify existing and create new test standards based on actual measurements
- Define a packaged product’s transportation hazards and characteristics
- Improve package performance
- Maximize risk management procedures
- Define “normal” and “abnormal” shipping conditions
- Audit transit environments to identify carrier handling practices
- Assess transport liability
