Appendix H.
British Standard BS 6841 (VDV)
Standard 70A and 70B are described in this appendix. Input signal is here
acceleration which is band pass filtered into the frequency range 0.5- 80
Hz. After that another band pass filter is applied, with filter characteristics
according to the graph in figure H1. As can be seen, this filter has
different characteristics for the vertical and horizontal directions.
Figure H1. Second band pass filter for the standard BS 6841.
Filter W
b
(blue) is applied for the vertical signal, and filter W
d
(green)
is applied for the horizontal signals
The output from the band pass filters is the base for the interval channels
(V, L, T). However, these are not the only interval channels in this
standard. There are also intervals based on Vibration Dose Values (VDV)
calculated as
