Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non‐governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patents

Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers –
Part 17: Primary calibration by centrifuge
1 Scope
ISO 16063 comprises a series of documents dealing with methods for the calibration of vibration and shock
transducers.
This part of ISO 16063 lays down detailed specifications for the instrumentation and procedure to be used for
primary calibration of accelerometers using centrifuge calibration.
This part of ISO 16063 applies to rectilinear accelerometers with zero-frequency response, mainly of the strain
gauge or piezoresistive type, and to primary standard and working transducers.
2 2
It is applicable for a calibration range from 10 m/s to 20 000 m/s (higher accelerations possible) at 0 Hz.
The limits of uncertainty applicable are ± 1 % of reading.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 2041, Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring — Vocabulary
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 2041 apply.
4 Requirements for apparatus and environmental conditions
4.1 Calibration environment
The standard reference atmospheric conditions are: (23 ± 3) °C; and 75 % relative humidity max. The
temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure shall be measured and reported.
4.2 Balanced table or arm (rotational table)
The main component of the calibration apparatus consists of balanced table or arm which rotates about a
2 2
vertical axis with uniform angular speed. For the calibration range from 10 m/s to 100 m/s the table/arm
shall be level within ± 0,5°of horizontal. For ranges higher than 100 m/s , levelling is allowed to within ± 2°.
