Wrong foundation type.<\/strong> Not all concrete foundations are \"rigid.\" A turbogenerator on concrete may be flexible if system natural frequency is near running speed.

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-q\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">What is the difference between ISO 20816-3 and the old ISO 10816-3?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n        <p>ISO 20816-3:2022 supersedes and replaces both ISO 10816-3:2009 and ISO 7919-3:2009. Main differences: integration of housing and shaft vibration criteria into one document, updated zone boundaries based on more recent operational experience, clearer guidance on foundation classification, and expanded guidance on low-speed machines. If your specifications reference ISO 10816-3, you should transition to ISO 20816-3.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-q\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">Should I use velocity or displacement for assessment?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n        <p>For most machines above 600 r\/min, <strong>velocity<\/strong> is the primary criterion. Use displacement additionally when: machine speed is \u2264600 r\/min (displacement may be the limiting factor), significant low-frequency components are present, or measuring shaft relative vibration (always use peak-to-peak displacement). If in doubt, check against both criteria \u2014 the worst-case zone governs.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-q\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">How do I determine if my foundation is rigid or flexible?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n        <p>The most accurate method is to measure or calculate the lowest natural frequency of the machine-foundation system. Methods: impact test (bump test), operational modal analysis, or FEA calculation. Quick estimate: if the machine visibly moves on its mounts during startup\/shutdown, it's likely flexible. If f<sub>n<\/sub> \u2265 1.25 \u00d7 running frequency \u2192 Rigid; otherwise \u2192 Flexible. Note: a foundation may be rigid vertically but flexible horizontally.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-q\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">What if my machine is in Zone C \u2014 can I keep running?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n        <p>Zone C means <strong>not suitable for continuous long-term operation<\/strong>, but doesn't require immediate shutdown. You should: investigate the cause, plan remedial action, monitor frequently for rapid changes, set a deadline for repair (next scheduled outage), and ensure vibration doesn't approach Zone D. The decision to continue depends on machine criticality and consequences of failure.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-q\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">How can balancing help meet ISO 20816-3 limits?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n        <p><strong>Unbalance<\/strong> is the most common cause of excessive vibration at running speed (1\u00d7). Field balancing with the Balanset-1A can reduce vibration from Zone C\/D back to Zone A\/B. The instrument measures vibration velocity to ISO 20816-3 requirements, calculates correction masses, verifies results, and documents before\/after levels for compliance records.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-q\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">What causes vibration to increase suddenly?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n        <p>Sudden increases (triggering Criterion II) may indicate: loss of balance weight, bearing damage, coupling failure, structural looseness (foundation bolt loosening), rotor rub, or process changes (cavitation, surge). Any change &gt;25% of B\/C boundary warrants investigation, even if absolute level is still acceptable.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"faq-item\">\n    <div class=\"faq-q\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">What about housing vs shaft disagreement?<\/div>\n    <div class=\"faq-a\">\n        <p>If housing vibration indicates Zone B but shaft vibration indicates Zone C, classify the machine as <strong>Zone C<\/strong> (the more restrictive assessment governs). There is no simple method to calculate housing vibration from shaft vibration or vice versa. Always use the worst-case zone from dual measurements.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<\/div><!-- .page-wrap -->\n\n<script>\n(function(){\n    'use strict';\n\n    var LIMITS = {\n        group1: {\n            rigid:    {ab_v:2.3, bc_v:4.5, cd_v:7.1, ab_d:29, bc_d:57, cd_d:90},\n            flexible: {ab_v:3.5, bc_v:7.1, cd_v:11.0, ab_d:45, bc_d:90, cd_d:140}\n        },\n        group2: {\n            rigid:    {ab_v:1.4, bc_v:2.8, cd_v:4.5, ab_d:22, bc_d:45, cd_d:71},\n            flexible: {ab_v:2.3, bc_v:4.5, cd_v:7.1, ab_d:37, bc_d:71, cd_d:113}\n        }\n    };\n\n    var form = document.getElementById('calcForm');\n    var results = document.getElementById('results');\n    var mtype = document.getElementById('c-mtype');\n    var bInputs = document.getElementById('bearingInputs');\n    var sInputs = document.getElementById('shaftInputs');\n\n    mtype.addEventListener('change', function(){\n        var isShaft = mtype.value === 'shaft';\n        bInputs.classList.toggle('hidden', isShaft);\n        sInputs.classList.toggle('hidden', !isShaft);\n        results.classList.remove('visible');\n    });\n\n    document.getElementById('resetBtn').addEventListener('click', function(){\n        form.reset();\n        results.classList.remove('visible');\n        bInputs.classList.remove('hidden');\n        sInputs.classList.add('hidden');\n    });\n\n    form.addEventListener('submit', function(e){\n        e.preventDefault();\n        calc();\n    });\n\n    function num(id){\n        var v = parseFloat(document.getElementById(id).value);\n        return isFinite(v) ? v : NaN;\n    }\n\n    function calc(){\n        var power = num('c-power');\n        var pu = document.getElementById('c-power-unit').value;\n        var speed = num('c-speed');\n        var height = num('c-height') || 0;\n        var found = document.getElementById('c-foundation').value;\n        var mt = mtype.value;\n\n        if(pu==='MW') power*=1000;\n        if(pu==='hp') power*=0.7457;\n\n        var group = (power>300 || height>315) ?
