Diagnose equipment using a vibration meter

09/04/2024 09:49:58

Vibration measurement is increasingly popular to detect machine errors or predict the condition of equipment before performing maintenance. But to diagnose accurately, you need to master the specific parameters as well as appropriate measurement methods. If not understood clearly, the process of "catching the disease" will become complicated and ineffective.

Check and accept installed equipment

Performing acceptance testing of installed equipment can use tools such as the multi-function handheld vibration meter VM-82A, pocket vibration meter VM-63C, or vibration analyzer VA- 12. 

The testing process should be planned in detail based on technical requirements, including measuring parameters such as acceleration, vibration amplitude, velocity and displacement to ensure that the measured values ​​are within allowable limit. This system helps ensure that vibration measurement is an important part of the acceptance process for new machinery and equipment.

Measure vibration when starting the engine regularly

Measuring vibration when starting the engine is an important step to check installation quality after routine repairs. Using devices such as the VM-82A vibration meter, or compact machines such as the VM-63C and VA-12, you can make precise measurements of acceleration, velocity, displacement, and displacement. engine vibration when starting. 

This helps you develop detailed test plans and ensure that tolerances are within acceptable ranges. This measurement system is especially useful in performing start-up checks after routine maintenance activities.

Check equipment daily

Operators should measure equipment vibration daily as part of a routine inspection routine. This helps detect engine errors early, allowing quick fixes and minimizing costs before serious damage occurs. This vibration monitoring system is an important part of the daily checks that operators need to perform to ensure equipment is always operating properly.

Used to maintain mechanical equipment

To effectively manage machinery maintenance, you can use vibration measuring devices such as the Fluke 805 or Extech 407860 for quick, accurate inspection and maintenance. To detect imbalance or misalignment, measure velocity and displacement; To check bearing vibration, acceleration measurement is necessary. Using the device's FFT analysis function also helps with detailed diagnosis of other problems. Thanks to that, in addition to maintenance purposes, these devices also support in-depth diagnostics, helping to improve maintenance efficiency.


Regular vibration measurement is a key element in the maintenance process of machinery equipment. Measured values ​​are compared with reference values ​​to monitor device condition. If an abnormal increase is detected, a shorter test should be performed. When necessary, detailed diagnostics can be performed to determine the cause of vibration, ensuring stable equipment performance is maintained.

Comprehensive inspection of equipment engines in the factory

Comprehensive inspection of engines and equipment in the plant is a necessary step to ensure efficient operations. With the VA-12 vibration meter, you can perform mass testing of motors in the production line. To diagnose unbalance or misalignment, use FFT velocity analysis. At the same time, FFT analysis of acceleration with envelope processing helps evaluate the load-bearing condition. Detailed diagnosis through FFT analysis will help determine the type and extent of the problems, thereby providing appropriate remedial measures.

Many people refer to the pungent, acrid odor that emerges when opening a new cabinet as the "smell of new wood," assuming it will simply dissipate after a few days. In reality, however, what is being released could well be formaldehyde—a substance originating from the adhesives used in the pressed-wood panels—and our sense of smell is not a reliable enough gauge to determine the concentration levels present

Regulation QCVN 07:2025/BNNMT (replacing QCVN 07:2009/BTNMT and QCVN 50:2013/BTNMT) specifies hazardous waste and sludge thresholds based on leachate concentrations. To ensure that analytical results for heavy metals and organic compounds are accepted during ISO/IEC 17025 or VIMCERTS assessments, laboratories must comply with the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) specified in TCVN 9239:2012, which is equivalent to US EPA Method 1311

Around 6 or 7 in the evening, the gym becomes packed; the music drowns out the sound of heavy breathing, and the air conditioning runs at full blast behind closed doors. At first glance, everything seems fine: the room is cool, the lights are bright, and the equipment is state-of-the-art. Yet, after just a few sessions, regular members begin to feel a heavy-headedness and find themselves running out of breath more quickly eventually, they simply stop renewing their memberships. No one complains about the personal trainers or the exercise machines. The very thing that makes them feel stifled and drives them away is something entirely invisible: the air inside the room
