BS ISO 5348:1998

1   Scope This International Standard describes the mounting characteristics of accelerometers to be specified by the manufacturer and makes recommendations to the user for mounting accelerometers. Application of this International Standard is limited to the mounting of accelerometers which are mounted on the surface of the structure in motion, as illustrated in the simplified diagram shown in figure 1. It is not applicable to other types of transducers, such as relative motion pick-ups.

                  S 
                  is the structure; 
               
               
                  F 
                  is a means of mounting; 
               
               
                  T 
                  is an accelerometer;
