How to ensure reliable vibration measurements in extreme thermal environments
In demanding applications such as gas turbines, engine nacelles, combustion chambers or industrial ovens, sensors are exposed to high levels of mechanical stress and extreme temperatures. Selecting the wrong accelerometer in these contexts can lead to inaccurate data, premature sensor failure, or costly test campaign delays.
To support engineers working in these critical environments, PCB Piezotronics has published a dedicated white paper: “Selecting the Right High Temperature Accelerometer”
