High Temperature Accelerometer Achieves 900 degrees F (482 degrees C)
May 22, 2002, Depew, NY - Model 357B61 accelerometer, from the Vibration Division of PCB Piezotronics, Inc., offers the ability to conduct vibration measurements on high temperature objects or in high temperature environments. With an ability to operate to 900°F (482°C), the unit is well suited for vibration testing and studies on engines, exhaust systems, manifolds, turbines, turbochargers, and steam handling equipment.
The unit is structured using a shear mode, piezoceramic sensing element within a hermetically sealed, Inconel® housing. This provides an environmentally rugged device with resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and ability to survive 5000 g shocks. Additional features include exceptional linearity through a 3000 g measurement range, low sensitivity deviation over the entire temperature range, and a virtually non-existent sensitivity to base strain. Included with the device is a 10 ft (3 m) hardline cable, which also survives high temperatures.
