GLOSSARY (for vibration purposes)

Piezoelectric	A material in which electrical properties change when subjected to
	force.
Process Measurements		Variables such as temperature, pressure, speed and
Radial	flow used to assess internal conditions of efficiency.
	Direction perpendicular to the shaft centerline.
Repeatability	A measure of the deviation between successive measurements made
RMS	under the same conditions.
	Peak Vibration x .707. ( in/s or mm/s)

Rolling Element Bearing A bearing consisting of balls or rollers operating between

Route	fixed and rotating races.
	A sequence of measurements arranged for convenience
Sensitivity	during acquisition.
	Used to describe a transducer’s electrical output for a unit variation
Stress	of the mechanical quantity measured.
	Force per unit area
Synchronous	Frequency components that are an integer multiple of
Transducer	running speed.
	A system consisting of a sensor and signal conditioner to convert a
	physical quantity into an output for display, monitoring
	and analysis.
Transmission Path The path from source (excitation) to sensor.
Trending	The plot of a variable over time used as an indicator of change.
Velocity	A vector quantity of the time rate change of displacement.

Vibration Conversions

D = 19.10 x 103 x (V/F)

D = 70.4 x 106 x (A/F2)

V = 52.36 x 10-6 x D x F

V = 3.68 x 103 x (A/f)

A = 14.2 x 10-9 x D x F2

A = 0.27 x 10-3 x V x F

where:	D = Displacement (mils peak-to-peak)
	V = Velocity (in/s zero-to-peak)
	A = Acceleration (in/s2 zero-to-peak)
	F = Frequency (cpm)
