“…2 and 5, on simplification, is and neglecting n* in the above, the error in the closedloop frequency response from 0-70 Hz, under dynamic conditions, reduces to Therefore With £ c = 0.535 and n e = 0.047, Y, n =0.09% «0.1% (16) Thus, the overall accuracy of the standard accelerometer, with an indicator of 0.01% accuracy is of the order of 0.1% under static as well as dynamic conditions.…”

An accelerometer based on an automatic force-balance principle has been developed with a view to measuring linear acceleration from 0.01 to 1.0 g, with overall accuracy of 0.1% under static as well as dynamic conditions in the frequency range from 0 to 70 Hz. The analysis of errors of components of various blocks and its experimental verification, the exact determination of damping ratio, and the phenomenon of reduction of undamped natural frequency arising out of the so called 'piston effect', caused by the highly viscous damping fluid, are some of the highlights in the determination of the performance. Finally, it is concluded that this linear accelerometer, using a new technique of calibration and an accurate measuring device, can be considered as a standard accelerometer.

“…Careful evaluations of TVC's from 1 to 1000 V and TCCs from 1 mA to 1 A or more have been made in national laboratories to about 10 ppm at audio frequencies, with reduced accuracies at higher frequencies [8], [32], [33], [34]. Comparisons with electrostatic and crest-responding instruments in these laboratories have provided valuable confirmation of the absence of large errors.…”
