Electrodynamic Shaker
The ET-140 shaker’s compact size, long stroke, and lightweight armature make it well suited for modal as well as general vibration testing. The shaker is capable of generating up to 110 lbf, a max displacement of 1.0 in and has a frequency range of DC – 6,500 Hz.
BSWA Impedance Tube System
Normal Incidence Impedance Tube System
BSWA SW466 Impedance Tubes can accurately measure sound absorption coefficients and impedance within a frequency range of 100 – 6100 Hz according to ISO or ASTM standards. They also support sound transmission loss measurements based on the Transfer Function Method using four microphones.
Polytec PDV-100
Portable Laser Vibrometer
The PDV-100 Portable Digital Vibrometer is a battery-powered digital vibrometer for field studies that enables non-contact measurement of vibrational velocities in the 0 to 22 kHz frequency range and high vibrational velocity resolution of 0.05 µm/s.
Simcenter SCADAS Mobile
Data Acquisition for Acoustic, Vibration, and Durability Testing
Supporting a large variety of analog and digital transducers, the Simcenter SCADAS mobile is optimally tuned for acoustic, vibration and durability engineering, and is seamlessly integrated with Simcenter Testlab for accelerated test setup and correctly formatted results.
Labworks ET-126HF
High Frequency Shaker
The LW126HF.151-9 offers full performance up to 14,000 Hz with operation at reduced force levels up to 20,000 Hz. This system is used for both general purpose testing and transducer calibration requirements. A voltage-proportional-to-output-current output signal is provided for modal test and other applications requiring force monitoring.
PCB 086C01
Modal Impulse Hammer
The PCB Modally Tuned ICP instrumented impact hammer features a rugged, force sensor that is integrated into the hammer’s striking surface. “Modal Tuning” eliminates hammer resonances in the frequency range of interest from corrupting the test data, resulting in more accurate and consistent measurements.
Metallurgical Microscope
Amscope 40x-800x Polarizing Metallurgical Microscope
This is a metallurgical microscope with an upright design and both transmitted and incident illumination. An episcopic illuminator includes removable polarizer and analyzer, as well as adjustable field and aperture diaphragms. A Siedentopf head with dual diopters and high-eyepoint eyepieces provides an adjustable viewing platform. There is also a dedicated 18 MP camera for simultaneous viewing and imaging.
Tektronix 3390
Arbitrary Waveform Generator
Model 3390 Waveform Generator uses direct digital synthesis techniques to generate highly stable and accurate waveforms up to 50 MHz. The exceptional signal quality of the Model 3390 is a result of its high resolution, fast rise and fall times, and deep memory.
Tektronix TBS1064
Digital Storage Oscilloscope
The TBS1064 Digital Storage Oscilloscope includes USB connectivity, 16 automated measurements, limit testing, data logging, and context-sensitive help.
TorM
Ultrasound Tortuosity and Characteristic Length Meter
This custom-built ultrasound tortuosity meter is capable of measuring tortuosity and characteristic lengths of a wide range of porous materials. The system uses the ultrasound transmission method and includes an air-coupled ultrasound pulser/receiver system, specimen holders, USB-DAQ and a custom-designed MATLAB-based software. The system works with disc shaped samples. To obtain viscous and thermal characteristic lengths, a two-gas method is available as an option.
Flow Meter
Static Airflow Resistance Meter
The custom-built static airflow resistance meter is designed to accurately measure the static airflow resistance, resistivity, and static viscous permeability of open cell porous materials. The system is based on the direct method described in ASTM C522-03 and ISO 9053-91 standards.
