G Fragility Rating
The Lower the G Rating of Equipment = A Great Level of Protection Needed
The fragility of an item is normally expressed in "G" units. G Units are a measure of the force exerted on bodies by the earth's gravitational pull. Products with a larger g-force rating require less protection from shock and vibration. For instance, an item with 20 G fragility will suffer damage when subjected to a force 20 times that of normal earth gravity. The fragility of an instrument or piece of equipment is usually determined by laboratory testing.
