Scope
This recommended practice describes the conduct and analysis of precision tests that are to be performed
on linear accelerometers using centrifuge techniques. The term “precision,” in this context, refers to tests
that are conducted to evaluate accelerometer parameters, as opposed to tests conducted to establish
environmental survivability only. Evaluation may take the form of determining the coefficients of the
accelerometer’s model equation, except for bias and scale factor, which are most accurately determined by
static multiposition tests. Alternatively, evaluation may establish only that the accelerometer output
complies with specific error limit criteria.
