NBS InterAgency transducer project
Abstract
A method is being developed to apply short duration thermal transients to pressure transducers and to observe the effects of these transients on transducer performance. The method consists of monitoring pressure transducer output as the transducer is exposed to radiation resulting from the ignition of a photographic flashbulb or from the discharge of an electronic flash. Thermal energy pulses as high as 0.4 J lasting 4 ms have been generated using an electronic flash; pulses as high as 1 J lasting 18 ms have been generated using No. 22 flashbulbs.
