Vibration Severity: API_611_TURBINE
Machinery vibration severity evaluation criteria — zone boundaries (A/B/C/D) for bearing housing velocity (mm/s RMS) and shaft displacement (micrometers pk-pk) per ISO 10816-1/3, ISO 20816-1/2/3, ISO 7919-3, API 610/617/611/612, NEMA MG1, VDI 3839, and ISO 14694. Covers ISO 10816-3 Groups 1 and 2 (rigid and flexible mount), ISO 10816-1 Classes I–IV, API centrifugal pump/compressor/steam turbine limits, rotodynamic pump zones, hydraulic machine zones, reciprocating machine limits, fan vibration limits, general alarm/trip multipliers, and summary lookup records.
