A "bias" "stability" of less (better) than 130 micro g with respect to a fixed calibration value over a period of one year; or a.1.b. A "scale factor" "stability" of less (better) than 130 ppm with respect to a fixed calibration value over a period of one year; a.2. Specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 15 g but less than or equal to 100 g and having all of the following: a.2.a. A "bias" "repeatability" of less (better) than 1,250 micro g over a period of one year;
Related Controls
(1) See USML Category XII(e) for accelerometers subject to the ITAR. (2) See also ECCNs 7A101, 7A611, and 7A994. (3) For angular or rotational accelerometers, see ECCN7A001.b. (4) MT controls do not apply to accelerometers that are "specially designed" and developed as Measurement While Drilling (MWD) sensors for use in downhole well service applications.
Items may also be controlled under the ITAR (22 CFR 121) administered by the State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).
