Velocity measurements of drops-in-flight can include many different definitions. In this paper three common methods will be described and discussed: Measurement of the velocity of drops in full flight, measurement of elapsed time to drop distance of 1mm from drop emergence, and measurement of elapsed time to drop distance of 1mm from firing pulse.This paper will also include an overview of JetXpert, the machine vision based drop-in-flight measurement system used for all three velocity measurement methods presented.
