Section 2 Measurements

2.1 Measurements should be taken on the deck in three mutually orthogonal directions: vertical, athwartships and longitudinal.

2.2 Where normal transducer attachment methods are impractical, due to the presence of deck coverings such as carpets, an inertia block with a mass of at least 1kg with spiked supporting legs may be used to locate the transducers.

2.3 In cabins, vibration readings are to be taken in the centre of the floor area. For larger spaces, such as mess rooms and the navigating bridge, sufficient measurements should be taken to define the vibration characteristics.
