IEEE 1431-2004 PDF
Specification and test requirements for a single-axis Coriolis vibratory gyro (CVG) for use as a sensor in attitude control systems, angular displacement measuring systems, and angular rate measuring systems are defined. A standard specification format guide for the preparation of a single-axis CVG is provided. A compilation of recommended procedures for testing a CVG, derived from those presently used in the industry, is also provided. Informative annexes cover CVG design features and theoretical principles of operation.
This standard is provided as a guide for the preparation of Coriolis vibratory gyro (CVG) specification and test procedures. The CVG is a device which measures inertial angular rate through the Coriolis force produced from a vibrating mass in a non-inertial reference frame. This gyro type encompasses low cost Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) devices on silicon or quartz chips and also inertial navigation grade vibrating shell gyros.
