Vibration - Instrumentation

Before reading on please see our Terms and Conditions.  It might be helpful to look at possible instruments for some relatively common vibration measurement tasks. Please note that in the following sections

• the options have been restricted to self contained battery powered instruments only; there are many and varied PC based options, which we will go into at a later date.
• the lists are not exhaustive so please e-mail with any errors or omissions
• The entry for a task is probably the minimum specification of instrument, from the manufacturers range, which is suitable for the task.
• Depending on the standard, a calibrator is probably not required, but may be of assistance.
• Due to its specialist nature, instrumentation for condition monitoring will be detailed at a later date.
• The number of channels of vibration measurement are shown in brackets; generally speaking the more the better, up to four channels.
