1.1 This practice covers the procedures for calibration of linear displacement sensors
and their corresponding power supply, signal conditioner, and data acquisition systems
(linear displacement sensor systems) for use in measuring micromotion. It covers any
sensor used to measure displacement that gives an electrical voltage output that is
linearly proportional to displacement. This includes, but is not limited to, linear
variable differential transformers (LVDTs) and differential variable reluctance transducers
(DVRTs).
