This master's thesis determines the vibrational effects on a diaphragmless shock tube, which was developed for dynamic calibrations of pressure meters. In order to determine the vibrational effects, we used three accelerometers, which were glued to three different system locations. The accelerometers and the pressure transducer output signals were displayed in a time and frequency domain through a developed program in the LabVIEW software environment. In order to assess the sensitivity of the piezoelectric pressure transducer, the end-wall shock tube flange with the integrated pressure transducer was excited. Considering the obtained acceleration sensitivity of the pressure transducer and measured accelerations during the operation of the shock tube at different initial driver gauge pressures, the vibrational effects on the operating shock tube were estimated. The vibrations turned out to be minor disturbances compared to others, which are probably related to the characteristics of the shock wave.
