ISA 37.5 PDF

This Standard covers uni-directional and bi-directional strain-gage linear acceleration transducers.

Included among the specific types of strain-gage linear acceleration transducers for which this Standard is applicable, are the following:

Bonded, unbonded, deposited metallic, or semiconductor strain gages.

Terminology used is defined in either ISA-S37.1, Electrical Transducer Nomenclature and Terminology or in 4.3, Additional Terminology, of this Standard. An asterisk appears after those terms defined in ISA-S37.1; a double asterisk appears after those terms defined in this Standard.

Purpose

This Standard establishes the following for strain-gage linear acceleration transducers:

a) Uniform minimum specifications for design and performance characteristics

b) Uniform acceptance and qualification test methods, including calibration techniques

c) Uniform presentation of minimum test data

d) A drawing symbol for use in electrical schematics (see Note in Section 3)
