Laboratory of Vibration-acoustics, Shock Resistance and Magnetic Fields

Laboratory of Vibration-acoustics, Shock Resistance and Magnetic Fields

Laboratory of Vibroacoustics, Shock Resistance and Magnetic Fields - RFL. Accredited by the Polish Centre for Accreditation - Certificate No AB 296 and Ministry of National Defence - certificate No 21/MON/2011.
 
Scope of accreditation for PCA and OiB 

  • Testing of resistance, strength and total resistance to sinusoidal vibration.
  • Testing of machine resistance to single mechanical shock.
  • Testing of machine resistance to repeated mechanical shocks.
  • Testing to resonance frequency occurrence in mechanical construction.
  • Measurements of magnetic field of mechanisms and technical devices.

Scope of non-accredited testing and measurement services includes:

  • vibration characteristics;
  • resistance against random vibrations;
  • acoustic noise level (in the anechoic chamber);
  • hydrostatic strength;
  • material magnetic properties;
  • arrangement of the shipboard equipment with relation to location of magnetic compasses;
  • magnetic field attenuation parameters of shielding structures;
  • workplace magnetic field environment parameters (0 Hz - 100 kHz);
  • magnetic field compensation tuning;
  • permanent magnetic field shaping of machinery and technical equipment;
  • precision measurements of magnetic disturbances from 100 fT to 3T 


Key testing stands at RFL:

  • microprocessor controlled TIRAvib 5550/LS - Vibration Test System (sine,random,impact) TGT MI 18 slip table for excitation of vibrations in horizontal plane;
  • anechoic chamber;
  • Bruel & Kjaer vibroacoustic measurement and testing equipment;
  • hydrostatic strength;
  • spatial magnetic field components' distribution for equipment with outline dimensions under 3mx3mx5m and weight below 5t;
  • permanent magnetic field shaping and stabilization for technical objects with outline dimensions 3mx3mx5m and weight below 5t;
  • testing of magnetic properties of materials;
  • gradiometric System with "SQUID" transducers (resolution of 100 fT);
  • Bruel & Kjaer sound level meter type 2250.
