While ISO 10816-7 is the primary standard for housing vibration, consider these related documents:
| Standard | Purpose | |----------|---------| | ISO 10816-1 | General guidelines for all machinery | | ISO 20816-7 | Updated framework (supersedes 10816-7? No – 20816 series is for larger machines) | | API 610 | Centrifugal pumps for petroleum industry (stricter than ISO) | | ISO 2954 | Specifies vibration meter characteristics | | ISO 13373-1 | Vibration condition monitoring techniques | A: No legally
If your pumps are in the oil & gas sector, API 610 usually takes precedence. For general industrial pumps, ISO 10816-7 is the global benchmark.
Record the highest RMS velocity among all measurement points. Compare that value to the zone limits in Table 1 or Table 2 of the standard, based on your pump’s power and foundation type. ⚠️ Warning: Never download a "free PDF" from
