As part of their ongoing new product launches DJB Instruments UK Ltd have released a new range of Seismic Accelerometers with Integrated electronics (IEPE) or Charge technology. The accelerometers utilise the DJB standard ceramic sensor providing high levels of stability and low frequency performance ideal for seismic applications.
The A/1600 and A/1800 IEPE accelerometers are the newest of the range, having undergone field testing and use for over a year to ensure they meet the high quality and reliability standards demanded by DJB Instruments UK Ltd and its customers.
Available with outputs ranging from 100mV/g, 316mV/g, 500mV/g up to 1000mV/g the accelerometers are also available with a range of connectors depending on the application. Hermetically sealed with welded construction they are manufactured in stainless steel as standard, but they can also be supplied in a titanium case.
DJB also manufacture all associated instrumentation and cabling that will be required for seismic applications, this includes amplifiers that can increase outputs up to 10V/g.
Neill Ovenden, DJBs General Manager said of the launch These accelerometers are aimed at Seismic applications, however, they can clearly also be used in other low frequency applications. Offering stable measurement down to 0.5Hz we have customers that use them in very novel applications in the rail industry.
Some common applications include: structural analysis, geophysics, geothermal development, large civil structures, such as buildings and bridges and mine safety.
