Vibration measurement

Data for ISO 10816 part 6

Part 6 is for ‘Reciprocating machines with power rating
above 100 kW’.

For this type of machinery, the standard provides 7
tables with limit values. Depending on the vibration level
when the machine is new and in good condition, the user
is supposed to select one of these tables as a norm for
the machine.

If you know your table, you simply select its classification
number.

When you mark ‘Measure’,
Leonova will select the
appropriate table and display
its number. Please note that
this requires a machine in ‘new
and good condition’, with low
vibration values. You then edit
the measuring point data and
input the proposed table number
instead of ‘Measure’.
