Vibration Severity
The vibration severity measurement is a very efficient monitoring method for detecting such common machine faults as imbalance, structural weakness, loose parts etc. Few input data are needed and it is easy to apply. The evaluation is based on international industrial standard. ISO 10816. The measurement returns the RMS value of vibration velocity in mm/s or inch/s.
The majority of industrial machinery belongs to the vibration classes 2, 3, and 4:
- Class 2
- Medium size machines without special foundation.
- Class 3
- Large machines on rigid foundations.
- Class 4
- Large machines on soft foundations.
