Successful Measurement of Dynamic Force, Pressure and Acceleration

PCB Piezotronics is offering training in Woodbridge, VA.  The short course, by Dr. Pat Walter, will be held at Hilton Garden Inn in Woodbridge on August 11-12, 2015. A dinner reception will be held on August 11th.

At this training, participants will learn to:
  • Understand the physics and operating characteristics of dynamic force, pressure (including acoustic), and acceleration transducers and constraints associated with their use
  • Interface transducers effectively with intended test environments
  • Condition transducer signals to maintain their fidelity through selection of appropriate cabling, amplifiers, analog filters, sampling rates, DAQs, etc.
  • Document extraneous measurands (e.g., strain, temperature, ionization products of a detonation, magnetic fields) that superpose as noise on the desired transducer response
  • Apply corrective action for elimination of these noise levels
  • Validate that final, recorded signals contain only the desired (force, pressure, or acceleration) data
  • Perform sensor and system calibration, data analysis and data utilization
  • Application issues associated with static load, torque, and pressure transducer applications can also be raised during the seminar.

The cost is $800 per person.  This fee covers training materials, lunches and dinner on August 11th.    

Discounted rooms have been reserved for $139.00/night for all attendees staying at Hilton Garden Inn, Woodbridge.  Should you desire lodging, please contact the hotel (703) 590-2500.  Please mention you are attending PCB training to receive your discount.  Thank you for your interest.  We look forward to seeing you in Woodbridge!
