IEEE 1293-2018 PDF Download

The specification and testing requirements for linear, single-axis, non-gyroscopic accelerometers used in inertial navigation, guidance, and leveling systems are laid forth in the IEEE 1293-2018 standard. The standard includes a list of suggested test methods as well as a format guide for the specification of these accelerometers. 

Numerous types of accelerometers, including force or pendulous torque rebalance with analog or digital output, vibrating beam, and micromechanical accelerometers, are covered by the standard. The discussion of error effects, filtering, noise, and transient analysis methods, as well as calibration and modeling methods, is covered in informative annexes. These annexes discuss things like geophysical effects in inertial instrument testing, vibration and shock test analyses, and multipoint tumble analysis.

A standardized format guide and suggested test methods are provided by IEEE 1293-2018 for the specification of linear, single-axis, non-gyroscopic accelerometers. The test processes, which were adapted from industry standards, are intended to guarantee the precision and dependability of these accelerometers in their intended uses.
