Selecting the Right Accelerometer for Your Application

 

The course will focus on providing guidelines for the selection and application of accelerometers that are used in the measurement of shock and vibration. The course is based upon the IEST Recommend Practice (RP) document IEST-RP-DTE011: Mechanical Shock and Vibration Accelerometer Selection. The focus will be on the practical use of the devices and will act as an introductory course on accelerometers.
