Vibration calibrator constant up to a maximum specified weight of test object. Older models can be used to calibrate objects weighing up to a maximum of approximately 100 g, whereas the latest instruments can work stably with test objects weighing over 500 g. Vibration calibrators are most often used for testing and checking vibration sensors and measuring instruments at the site of their operation and are, therefore, usually transportable and battery operated. The most commonly occurring vibration frequency of calibrators is 159.2 Hz, which is equivalent to a radian frequency of 1000 rad/s. The vibration displacement, velocity and acceleration of sinusoidal signals
Inch per second tape sound recording, magnetic tape speed is often quoted in inches per second (abbreviated "ips"). Also computer mice sensitivity is also often referred to in inches per second (abbreviated as "ips") along with g force. In rotorcraft health monitoring, rotor and shaft induced vibration levels are often quoted in inches per second. Inch per second The inch per second is a unit of speed or velocity. It expresses the distance in inches ("in") traveled or displaced, divided by time in seconds ("s", or "sec"). The equivalent SI unit is the metre per second. Abbreviations include in/s, in/sec, ips, and less
