TB 9-6695-300-50
IDENTIFICATION AND DESCRIPTION
1. Test Instrument
Identification.
This bulletin provides instructions for the
calibration of Radar Gun Tuning Forks (General). The manufacturer's manuals were used
as the prime data sources in compiling these instructions. The equipment being calibrated
will be referred to as the TI (test instrument) throughout this bulletin.
a. Model Variations. None.
b. Time and Technique. The time
required for this
calibration is
approximately 1
hour, using the dc and low frequency technique.
2. Forms,
Records, and
Reports.
Forms, records, and
reports required for calibration
personnel at all levels are prescribed by TB 750-25.
3. Calibration
Description. Some typical TI
parameters and
performance specifications
for known tuning forks are listed in table 1 by manufacturer and model.
