Typical Vibration Alarm Settings of Various Installations
THE VALUES LISTED BELOW ARE GUIDELINES ONLY – Actual vibration limits must be
related to stress levels, which can be measured with strain gage equipment. In general, if
vibration levels are below the guidelines mentioned below, the stress levels are well below the
fatigue level of the equipment. If vibration problem is perceived, a spectral analysis should be
performed on the unit by a qualified specialist.

Reciprocating Compressor Vibration Setting Guidelines
THE VALUES LISTED BELOW ARE GUIDELINES ONLY – Cyclical failures generally occur
in the range of 10 to 100 cycles. High velocity at high frequency will result in failure at a much
greater rate than high velocities at a low frequency. Experience should also be a guideline in
determining acceptance limits for a particular compressor package.
