• Measurements are made in three direction (horizontal, MOD133 VIB ISO 10816 and spectrum
vertical, axial).
• Machine condition is generally diagnosed on the basis
of broadband vibration measurements returning an RMS
value. ISO 10816 keeps the lower frequency range flexible
between 2 and 10 Hz, depending on the machine type.
The upper frequency is 1000 Hz.
• ISO 10816 operates with the term vibration magnitude,
which, depending on the machine type, can be an RMS
value of vibration velocity, acceleration or displacement. If
two or more of these parameters are measured, ­vibration
severity is the one returning the relative highest RMS
value. For certain machines, ISO 10816 also recognises
peak-to-peak values as condition criteria.
