Excessive pipe vibration leads to critical loads. Here, vibration analysis can ensure the identification and elimination of critical excitation mechanisms.

By measuring the vibration acceleration, -speed or -displacement it can be verified whether the vibration level of piping and – if applicable, of connected pumps and aggregates – lies within acceptable limits.  But even if too high pipe vibration has been found, performing multi-channel vibration analysis is recommendable, since knowledge of the excitation mechanisms is needed in order to be able to effectively reduce the vibration.

Here, unlike the simple, hand-held vibrometer measurements, multi-channel measurements enables modal as well as frequency selective analysis.
