How would I know if the specs of the VibroMet 500V meet my measurement requirements?
• Distance to target – For good reflecting surfaces the VibroMet 500V can measure targets at any distance between 1 cm and 5 meters. If the surface is not a good reflector, then the maximum distance may be less than 5 meters. • Frequency of vibration – The VibroMet 500V can measure frequencies from DC to 20 kHz. There is also a version that will measure up to 50KHz. • Velocity of vibration – This parameter has a maximum value of 1.0 m/s and may be calculated as follows: V = 2 PI * amplitude * frequency. For example if the amplitude of vibration were 10 microns and the frequency of vibration 1 kHz, then the velocity would be 0.063 m/s.
