This document outlines standards for instruments that measure root-mean-square (rms) vibration velocity. It defines key measurement quantities for non-rotating machine parts like rms vibration velocity from 10-1000 Hz. Instruments should be capable of measuring these quantities, and have a sensitivity within ±10% of the reference sensitivity from 10-100% of the full scale value over the operating temperature range and various transducer attachments. The transducer must not depend on orientation and structural resonances should be above the upper frequency of interest.

4 Measurement quantities The measurement quantities given in Figure 1 are used to describe mechanical vibration of non- rotating parts. Integration and differentiation among the measurement quantities is allowed both for broad band and discrete frequency component signals (see ISO 10816-1:1995, Annex A). The instrument should preferably be capable of measuring the measurement quantities given in Figure 1, but shall at least measure r.m.s. vibration velocity over the frequency range of 10 to 1000 Hz. In some parts of ISO 10816[2] a lower cut-off frequency of 2 Hz or even less is used. The requirements to the frequency response can be found from the formulas in 5.4

5 General requirements The requirements specified in this clause apply to the general characteristics of the complete assembly of the transducer and the indicating unit. The sensitivity within the measurement frequency range shall not deviate from the reference sensitivity at the reference frequency by more than the quantities given in Table 2 and shown graphically in Figures 1 and 2 for a reference frequency of 79.4 Hz. The band-limiting element is a combination of high- and low-pass third-order Butterworth filter characteristics. In some cases, it may be necessary to limit or expand further the measurement frequency range at its upper or lower boundaries to avoid interfering vibrations that are irrelevant to the assessment of the vibration characteristics of a machine or to include important frequencies. For this purpose, the instrument may be equipped with additional or modified high-pass or low-pass filters. It is recommended that the cut-off frequencies, f1 and f2, of these filters be selected in accordance with IEC 61260 one-third octave specifications in the range 1 Hz to 10 000 Hz and the edge steepness kept as the filters specified in this International Standard The selection (if available) of the measurement range shall be such that the indication of the lowest level of the vibration severity to be measured shall be equal to at least 10 % of the full- scale value. The measurement uncertainty may be up to a maximum of ±10 % of the indicated value, including the calibration uncertainty, at 10 % to 100 % of full-scale value. These limits of uncertainty apply over the whole operating temperature range authorized for the vibration transducer and indicating unit (see 6.4), for all types of attachments of the vibration transducer (see Clause 6), for all lengths of connecting cable between the vibration transducer and the indicating unit provided by the manufacturer and a ±10 % fluctuation in the supply voltage. The limits shall include the uncertainty in the calibration. Only one of the above influence parameters shall be checked at a time.
6 Requirements for the vibration transducer and connecting cable
The transducer shall be of the seismic type, i.e. it shall measure the vibrations of interest by comparison with a static reference system determined by the mode of operation of the transducer. Its output shall not depend on its orientation with respect to gravity. However, if transducers are used whose output signal can be dependent on their orientation with respect to gravity, any influence of gravity on the transducer output signal shall be accounted for. This applies especially to electrodynamic velocity transducers. For accelerometers, the resulting mounted resonance of the transducer shall be well above the upper frequency of interest. For velocity pick-ups, no structural resonances should occur below the upper frequency of interest. If in doubt, the mounting technique should be tested on a calibration system. Additional information about mounting can be found in ISO 5348. For all types of attachment, the transverse sensitivity ratio shall be less than 0,1 over the whole measurement frequency range. The maximum level of vibration velocity for linear response of transducers shall be at least three times the vibration velocity at full-scale deflection in the sensitive direction. The effective mass of the vibration transducer shall be given in the manual. Normal good practice of keeping the mass below 1/10 of the vibrating mass of the measurement object in the near vicinity of the mounting location should be followed.
