1. Important Information
Fig. 1
In the Shockwatch system, a precision
glass tube shows shocks or impacts
that are above a specified intensity
through red coloration. Exceeding a de-
fined acceleration (g value) destroys
the surface tension of the liquid in the
interior of the tube. This causes the
indicator tube to change color.
