Title
Standard Practice for Calibrating Linear Displacement Transducers for Geotechnical Purposes
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 1996
Scope:
This practice outlines the procedure for calibrating linear
displacement transducers (LDTs) and
their readout systems for geotechnical purposes. It covers any
transducer used to measure
displacement which gives an electrical output that is linearly
proportional to displacement. This
includes linear variable displacement transducers (LVDTs), linear
displacement transducers (LDTs)
and linear strain transducers (LSTs).
This calibration procedure is used to determine the relationship
between output of the transducer
and its readout system and change in length. This relationship is used
to convert readings from the
transducer readout system into engineering units.
This calibration procedure also is used to determine the accuracy of
the transducer and its readout
system over the range of its use to compare with the manufacturer's
specifications for the
instrument and the suitability of the instrument for a specific
application.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
