ASA S2.80 Part 1 – AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Mechanical vibration – Measurement and evaluation of machine vibration – Part 1: General guidelines (a nationally adopted international standard)

This nationally adopted international standard establishes general conditions and procedures for the measurement and evaluation of vibration using measurements made on rotating, non-rotating, and non-reciprocating parts of complete machines. It is applicable to measurements of both absolute and relative radial shaft vibration with regard to the monitoring of radial clearances, but excludes axial shaft vibration. The general evaluation criteria, which are presented in terms of both vibration magnitude and change of vibration, relate to both operational monitoring and acceptance testing. They have been provided primarily with regard to securing reliable, safe, long-term operation of the machine while minimizing adverse effects on associated equipment. Guidelines are also presented for setting operational limits.
