<strong>Strain</strong>-<strong>Based</strong> Measurement Introduction:Hydraulic Impulse:<strong>The</strong> hydraulic impulse systems in common use involve the dropping <strong>of</strong>a calibrated weight from a controlled height onto a moveable precisionpiston which compresses a column <strong>of</strong> hydraulic fluid. Two forms <strong>of</strong>this calibrator are in use; one utilizes a reference pressure sensor usually<strong>of</strong> the tourmaline piezoelectric type; the other computes the generatedpressure based upon the mass <strong>of</strong> the weight, local gravity, velocity,<strong>and</strong> piston area. Peak pressure magnitudes <strong>of</strong> between 100 <strong>and</strong> 20,000psi are achievable with rise times on the order <strong>of</strong> 3 milliseconds <strong>and</strong>showing pulse durations on the order <strong>of</strong> 6 milliseconds.FIGURE 1-18. <strong>The</strong> Hydraulic Impulse Test System:Drop Tube9-lb massImpact Pad:Modifies Pulse durationPistonTypical Range:0 to 20,000 psiRise Time:3 millisecondsPulse Duration:6-8 millisecondsTest sensor Reference Sensor(Piezoelectric tourmaline)Hydraulic ReservoirOther Methods:Other methods, not so commonly used for the determination <strong>of</strong> thedynamic response <strong>of</strong> sensors, are many <strong>and</strong> varied.
