Capabilities

	Acoustic / Vibration Equipment:
	Your choices are...
	Accelerometer / Vibration Sensor		Accelerometers are sensors and instruments for measuring, displaying and analyzing acceleration and vibration. They can be used on a stand-alone basis, or in conjunction with a data acquisition system. Accelerometers are available in many forms. They can be raw sensing elements, packaged transducers, or as a sensor system or instrument, incorporating features such as totalizing, local or remote display and data recording. Accelerometers can have from one axis to three axes of measurement, the multiple axes typically being orthogonal to each other. These devices work on many operating principles. The most common types of accelerometers are piezoelectric, capacitance, null-balance, strain gage, resonance, piezoresistive and magnetic induction. Vibration sensors are sensors for measuring, displaying and analyzing linear velocity, displacement and proximity, or else acceleration. They can be used on a stand-alone basis, or in conjunction with a data acquisition system. Vibration sensors are available in many forms. They can be raw sensing elements, packaged transducers, or as a sensor system or instrument, incorporating features such as totalizing, local or remote display and data recording.
	Acoustic Sensors / Microphones		Measurement microphones are most commonly condenser microphones in which sound pressure actuates a diaphragm that is one plate of a capacitor. The relative motion of the capacitor plates causes a change in capacitance and the resulting voltage is measured and converted into a reading such as sound pressure level (SPL). Measurement microphones are described by type of sound field.  Pressure field measurement microphones are used to measure sound pressure that has the same magnitude and phase throughout the field. Free field microphones are used to measure a plane wave that is propagating freely in one defined direction. Diffuse field measurement microphones, also known as random incidence microphones, measure sound waves from all directions.
	Acoustic / Ultrasonic Transducers		Ultrasonic transducers send and receive waves for many types of sensing. Distance, proximity, level, nondestructive evaluation, web break detection, counting, and security applications are some examples. They typically operate at their resonant frequency with various construction options, beam patterns, and power levels. Underwater acoustic transducers can contain both transmitters and receivers, or they can be solely transmitters used in conjunction with a hydrophone. They sense reflected sound and use distance and directional data for communication, mapping and navigation. Underwater acoustic transducers have an operational range, but are usually designed to operate at their resonance frequency to maximize output power. They are most typically single frequency transmitters, but they may contain multiple transmitters and receivers for different frequencies.
	Hydrophones		Hydrophones are underwater acoustic sensors, which most commonly use piezoelectric technology. They can be used singly or in arrays that can contain dozens or hundreds of individual units. They are used in marine geological and biological research, undersea mapping and navigation, and various commercial and military applications.
	Impact Hammers		Impact hammers are used in structural and modal analysis to determine component or system response to impacts of varying amplitude and duration. It is simply a hammer with a force transducer in its head and is paired with an accelerometer on the component being tested to compare impact and response. Impact hammers are used for modal and structural behavior analysis for all types of components and systems. The most critical specifications for impact hammers are the force and pulse duration, both rated by minimums and maximums. Force is measured in pounds, kg, N and other similar units. The pulse duration, a measurement of the time the hammer is imparting a force on the object being tested, is a very short span of time, often measured in milliseconds. Another important specification is the upper limit of the frequency range. This is the highest frequency for which the response will be tested, and can be altered by using accessory tips, if available.
	Shakers		Shakers and vibration and shock testing equipment are force generators or transducers that provide a vibration, shock or modal excitation source for testing and analysis. Shakers are used to determine product or component performance under vibration or shock loads, detect flaws through modal analysis, verify product designs, measure structural fatigue of a system or material or simulate the shock or vibration conditions found in aerospace, transportation or other areas.
	Shaker Controllers		Shaker controllers are units designed to control shaker tables. The simplest types of shaker controllers are controlled manually and depend on the operator to read and evaluate the feedback signal and adjust the amplifier signal input voltage accordingly. This type of system can be as simple as a sine wave signal generator and an accelerometer monitored by a voltmeter. It is left to the operator to manually make the necessary gain compensation for changes in frequency or desired level specifications.
	Sound Level Meters / Dosimeters		Sound level meters and noise dosimeters are used in many kinds of sound and noise analysis including industrial safety, traffic and transportation noise quantification, and scientific noise measurement. They are frequently hand-held and battery-powered. Sound level meters measure real-time sound and can have functions such as signal analysis, noise dose measurement, and different time and frequency weighting.
	Vibration / Noise Analyzer (FFT)		Instruments for measuring and analyzing vibration or acceleration, using accelerometers or displacement sensors including systems for vibration testing, and modal analysis such as the instrumentation to acquire data and/or analyze results.  Vibration instruments are used for measuring, displaying and analyzing vibration. Typically these instruments comprise a transducer, data acquisition and either a local display or some sort of output to a computer or another instrument. Vibration instruments can have many features, including incorporating features such as totalizing, local or remote display and data recording. They may be stationary or else portable field-type instruments.

Proper circulator and bath design includes a number of physical and mechanical features, and the electronic temperature controls. Conventional circulator and bath designs use separate heating and cooling devices immersed in the bath liquid, although other systemic styles are available. To maintain an even temperature, the bath fluid must be stirred vigorously. However this must be accomplished without the formation of air bubbles or vortices in the fluid, which could interrupt the temperature transmission, or negatively impact the samples. The temperature control system, including the temperature sensor or thermistor, must be responsive enough to maintain uniform temperatures for long periods.
	Chromatography Instruments		Instruments used to separate chemical mixtures, carried by liquids or gases, into components as a result of differential distribution of the solutes as they flow around or over a stationary liquid or solid phase.

Gas chromatography is a technique used to separate volatile organic compounds. Gas chromatography columns (GC columns) are of two types: packed and capillary. Solutes to be measured travel through the column at a rate primarily determined by their gas chromatography detectors (GC detectors) identify solutes as they exit the chromatographic column. A chromatogram is generated, plotting the signal versus time.
	Density Instruments		Density and specific gravity instruments are meters used to determine the density and specific gravity of a mixture that may be solid, gas, or liquid. The density range (mass per volume), accuracy, and response time characterize most of these instruments. Simultaneous measurements and user interfaces are also important in choosing the proper density and specific gravity instruments.
