MEASUREMENTS THAT SUPPORT ENGINEERING DECISIONS.
Measure the response under real operating conditions
KOMES measures vibration in machinery, buildings, structures and installations. We select the sensors, measurement points and recording duration to match the source of excitation and the decision the results need to support.
Define the purpose before selecting the equipment
A short diagnostic test, continuous monitoring, assessment of effects on a building and assessment of human exposure are different tasks. They require different recording plans, analysis methods and evaluation criteria.
Quantities and analysis
Depending on the scope, the study may address acceleration, velocity or displacement, time histories, frequency spectra and the response to periodic, random or impulsive excitation. Synchronous measurements can help compare the behaviour of a machine, its foundation and supporting structure.
From recorded signals to an interpretation
We document the measurement locations and directions, equipment, recording settings and operating conditions. Signal quality and relevant events are reviewed before the results are interpreted. The assessment criteria depend on the object and purpose of the study.
Where measurement alone does not explain the mechanism, modal testing or a numerical model can support further investigation. This can help assess the influence of structural stiffness, support conditions or an excitation frequency.
What to send us
- The object and site location.
- A description of the source and observed vibration.
- Operating conditions and when the problem occurs.
- Available drawings, photographs and previous measurements.
- The intended use of the report and required date.
If you require an accredited test, state this in the enquiry so the applicable scope can be confirmed in the proposal.
