BS ISO 10816-21:2015

Comprehensive Vibration Measurement Standard for Machinery

BS ISO 10816-21:2015 is the definitive standard for measuring and evaluating mechanical vibration of machines. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this comprehensive guideline ensures the reliable, safe, and efficient operation of a wide range of industrial equipment.

Ensure Optimal Machine Performance and Lifespan

Mechanical vibration can have a significant impact on the performance, reliability, and service life of industrial machinery. BS ISO 10816-21:2015 provides a structured approach to:

• Measure vibration levels accurately and consistently
• Assess the severity of vibration and its effects on machine condition
• Identify potential issues before they lead to costly breakdowns or failures
• Implement effective vibration monitoring and control strategies

Comprehensive Guidance for a Wide Range of Machines

This standard covers the measurement and evaluation of mechanical vibration for a diverse array of industrial equipment, including:

• Turbines and generators
• Compressors and pumps
• Motors and fans
• Gearboxes and transmissions
• Reciprocating machines
• And more

Ensure Compliance and Optimize Asset Management

Adhering to the guidelines set forth in BS ISO 10816-21:2015 can help organizations:

• Comply with industry regulations and standards
• Implement effective predictive and preventive maintenance programs
• Maximize the lifespan and performance of critical machinery
• Reduce the risk of unplanned downtime and costly repairs
• Improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) and productivity

Comprehensive Technical Specifications

BS ISO 10816-21:2015 provides detailed technical specifications and guidance on:

• Measurement locations and transducer positioning
• Vibration measurement parameters and units
• Evaluation criteria and severity charts
• Measurement procedures and data analysis techniques
• Reporting and documentation requirements

Whether you're responsible for maintaining critical industrial equipment, implementing a vibration monitoring program, or ensuring compliance with industry standards, BS ISO 10816-21:2015 is an essential resource for optimizing the performance and reliability of your machinery.
