Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about vibration and acoustic calibration at Techmaster Electronics.
What vibration and acoustic parameters does Techmaster calibrate?
Our vibration scope covers 0.2 to 36 gpk over 1 Hz to 10 kHz with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Sound level meters are calibrated at 94 dB and 114 dB @ 1 kHz with 0.28 dB uncertainty. Back-to-back reference accelerometer calibration follows ISO 16063-21 at our Santa Clara, CA laboratory.
Is vibration calibration accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017?
Yes. Techmaster Electronics is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by ANAB (Certificate AC-1736) covering vibration (Santa Clara, CA), sound level meters (Vista, CA), plus electrical, RF, microwave, dimensional, mass, and time/frequency calibration. Every accredited certificate includes the ANAB logo, calibration uncertainties, and full NIST traceability.
How often should accelerometers and vibration meters be recalibrated?
Annual recalibration is the standard cycle for accelerometers, vibration meters, and sound level meters per ISO 16063, ANSI S1.4, and IEC 61672. Reference accelerometers in cal-cal labs may need 6-month intervals. Standard turnaround is 5 business days; 1–2 day expedite available.
Do you calibrate shaker tables and vibration controllers?
Yes. We calibrate Modal/Unholtz-Dickie, IMV, MB Dynamics, and Brüel & Kjær LDS shaker systems plus Vibration Research, m+p international, and Spectral Dynamics controllers. On-site calibration is available for large fixed shaker installations anywhere in the continental United States.
Where do you perform vibration and sound level meter calibration?
Vibration calibration is performed at our Santa Clara, CA (Silicon Valley) laboratory — the location on the ANAB scope (cert AC-1736) for vibration parameters. Sound level meter calibration is at our Vista, CA headquarters. Free local pickup and delivery in Silicon Valley and Southern California.
