Vibration Standard Iso 10816-3

Iso 10816-3:1998 Mechanical vibration - Evaluation of machine vibration by measurements on non-rotating parts - Part 3: Industrial machines with nominal power above 15 kW and nominal speeds between 120 r/min and 15 000 r/min when measured in situ.

  • ISO 10816 establishes the general conditions and procedures for measurement and evaluation of vibrations from the non-rotating parts of machines. Standards provide guidance for machines operating in the 10 to 200 Hz (600 to 12,000 RPM) frequency range.
  • ISO 10816-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 108, Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring, Subcommittee SC 2, Measurement and evaluation of mechanical vibration and shock as applied to machines, vehicles and structures.
  • ISO 10816-3 is mainly applied to vibration measurement of industrial machines like electro motors powered above 15 KW and speed range (120 RPM-15000RPM) by accelerometer or velocity transducers on fixed parts like bearing housings ISO10816-4.

VM - Vibration Monitoring (ISO 10816) - is it evidently shaking itself - monitor by operator or transducer.
Vibration Monitoring has its roots in maintenance engineers inspecting machines during their traditional walk around. It attempts for formalise an instinctive understanding that a machine is vibrating unusually.
ISO 10816 establishes the general conditions and procedures for measurement and evaluation of vibrations from the non-rotating parts of machines.
10816-3
Standards provide guidance for machines operating in the 10 to 200 Hz (600 to 12,000 RPM) frequency range. Examples of these types of machines are small, direct-coupled, electric motors and pumps, production motors, medium motors, generators, steam and gas turbines, turbo-compressors, turbo-pumps and fans. Some of these machines can be coupled rigidly or flexibly, or connected through gears. The axis of the rotating shaft may be horizontal, vertical or inclined at any angle.
Iso ISO 10816-3 defines four groups of machines, ranked according to size, base and purpose. It separates the working conditions into four zones:
Iso
  • Zone A Green: vibration values from machines just put into operation
  • Zone B Yellow: continuous operation without any restrictions
  • Zone C Orange: condition is acceptable only for a limited period of time
  • Zone D Red: dangerous vibration values - damage could occur at any time

Abstract Preview

ISO 10816-3:2009 gives criteria for assessing vibration measurements when made in situ. The criteria specified apply to machine sets having a power above 15 kW and operating speeds between 120 r/min and 15 000 r/min.
