Vibration Levels for the Diesel Engines and Compressors

It’s no secret that vibration analysis is an important part of preventive maintenance and machine monitoring. With the right tools and knowledge, it can be used to detect problems before they lead to equipment failure and downtime. At Zillion Telesoft, we understand the importance of vibration monitoring, especially when it comes to meeting the standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).



You’ll be glad to know that the ISO 10816-3 standard provides criteria for evaluating the vibration of machinery according to measurements taken on non-rotating parts, such as bearings, bearing pedestals, or housings. It serves as a general guideline for determining overall machine condition based on the magnitude of vibration and changes in vibration levels over time.


At Zillion Telesoft, we use this standard to provide our customers with an accurate assessment of their machines’ performance. We understand how crucial it is to have machines running in peak condition, as any downtime can lead to costly repairs or replacements. That’s why we take great care to use the ISO 10816-3 standard in our evaluations.


In order to use the standard, the power of the machine must be above 15 kW and the operating speed between 120 and 15,000 RPM. This covers a wide range of machines, including common industrial motors, pumps, generators, rotary compressors, blowers and fans, and several types of turbines. Of course, some machines have power requirements or speeds outside the scope of the standard; however, the majority of the machines you’re likely to encounter can still be evaluated according to these guidelines.


When evaluating machines using ISO 10816-3, we look at the magnitude of vibration and changes in vibration levels over time. This helps us to identify potential faults in the machine and take the necessary steps to prevent them from occurring. We also look for any irregularities in the way the machine is running, such as unusual noise or excessive vibrations. All of these signs can point to a potential problem and require further investigation.


Ranges for the Severity


By taking a few measurements in terms of vibration velocity and using the chart shown above, it’s possible to make good use of vibration data no matter your level of expertise. Referencing the ISO 10816-3 guidelines helps you quickly identify problem machines and perform targeted maintenance before more serious damage occurs. It’s a valuable, easy-to-use tool for more effective condition-based monitoring.


Diesel engines are powerful machines that can generate an immense amount of torque and power. Despite their strength, they are also prone to vibration, which can cause significant damage to the engine if it occurs at too high of a level. Vibration can be caused by a variety of factors, such as engine misalignment, unbalanced rotating parts, or poor lubrication.


It is important to measure vibration levels on diesel engines and compressors to ensure that all parts are functioning properly. In order for this to be done, the engine needs to be mounted on a vibration-measuring device. This device is then used to measure the amount of vibration generated by the engine.


Zillion Telesoft has developed a vibration monitoring system that can be used to determine acceptable vibration levels for diesel engines and compressors. The system is designed to measure a range of frequencies from 10 Hz up to 1,500 Hz. The system also allows for the calculation of frequency-weighted vibration levels for a wide range of engine and compressor types.


The system is capable of producing a vibration spectrum, which is a graph of the vibration frequencies measured over time. This allows engineers to identify the maximum vibration level at which the engine is operating within its acceptable range. If the vibration levels exceed the acceptable range, corrective measures need to be taken to prevent further damage to the engine.


Zillion Telesoft has also developed a vibration monitoring software that can be used to compare the vibration level of multiple engines and compressors. This software allows engineers to efficiently manage vibration levels across all engines and compressors, ensuring that all parts are operating within their optimal range.


At Zillion Telesoft, we understand that vibration levels of diesel engines and compressors must be monitored and maintained to ensure their proper operation. Our vibration monitoring system, software, and expertise can help you ensure that your diesel engine and compressor are functioning at their optimal levels. With our help, you can ensure that your diesel engine and compressor will continue to perform efficiently and safely.
