When measuring vibrations, a piezoelectric accelerometer is sometimes easier to mount on sensitive equipment. It is also smaller than a geophone and not sensitive to the orientation. Accelerometers can also be used to measure much higher levels of vibration compared to geophones.
This extremely small accelerometer was developed for vibration monitoring of sensitive equipment. It is much smaller and lighter than a geophone and insensitive to magnetic interference. Typical applications are sensitive items like sculptures, paintings in churches and old buildings. It is possible to measure acceleration or particle velocity
