Features

  • Built-in-amplifier type (IEPE Type)
  • Small size and reasonable cost
  • Compliant with API standard 670 (API: American Petroleum Institute)
  • Intrinsically safe (TIIS、ATEX、NEPSI、KTL)
  • Type approval certificate for marine use
  • IP67 Dust tight and water proof
  • CE compliat, UKCA compliat

Mounting techniques and frequency response

The accuracy of high frequency response is directly affected by the mounting technique of the acceleration sensor. In general, the greater the mounted surface area contact between the sensor and the machine surface, the more accurate high frequency response will be.
