2. Introduction
Based on the contract between RITEC and REXAM; RITEC team consisting of Eng. Mohamed
Moselhy and Eng. Yahia El-Nagar visited REXAM factory located in the 6th of October City on the
6th of November 2014 in order to perform vibration measurements for the requested
machines.

The measurements, analysis, conclusions and recommendations for L1 machines are found in
this report.

vibration.

Basically if you see a red color in the machine status then you need to take action immediately
(within this month), if you see an orange color then you have several weeks to take action,
while a yellow code means you have several months to take an action, while green means that
the machine is OK.

3. Instrumentation & Measurements
RITEC team uses a DLI TRIO CX7 4 channels data collector to conduct the measurements. A DLI
629M32 tri-axis accelerometer is used to sense the vibration data.

Critical points for measurement are selected. At each point, two velocity spectra are measured
in horizontal (H), vertical (V) and axial (A) directions. Also velocity overall value for the 1 kHz
band is measured at each point. In all measurements, a hanning window is chosen to reduce
leakage, and at least 4 averages are taken to reduce noise. Time waveform measurements of
appropriate time spans are also collected.

In addition, envelope spectra are measured, when required, in order to detect early bearing
faults.

4. ISO Standards 10816-1
5. Zones Class I Class II Class III Class IV
Zone A: The vibration of newly
commissioned machines would Up to 0.71 Up to 1.12 Up to 1.8 Up to 2.8
normally fall within this zone
Zone B: Machines with vibration within
this zone are normally considered From 0.71 up From 1.12 up From 1.8 up From 2.8 up
acceptable for unrestricted long-term to 1.8 to 2.8 to 4.5 to 7.1
operation
Zone C: Machines with vibration within
this zone are normally considered

operation. Generally, the machine may
to 4.5 to 7.1 to 11.2 to 18
be operated for a limited period in this
condition until a suitable opportunity
arises for remedial action
Zone D: Vibration values within this
zone are normally considered to be of
Over 4.5 Over 7.1 Over 11.2 Over 18
sufficient severity to cause damage to
the machine

Class I: Individual parts of engines and machines integrally connected to the complete machine in its
normal operating condition. (Production electrical motors of up to 15 kW are typical examples of
machines in this category.

Class II: Medium-sized machines (typically electrical motors with 15 kW to 75 kW output) without
special foundations, rigidly mounted engines or machines (up to 300 kW) on special foundations.

Class III: Large prime-movers and other large machines with rotating masses mounted on rigid and
heavy foundations which are relatively stiff in the direction of vibration measurements.

Class IV: Large prime-movers and other large machines with rotating masses mounted on foundations
which are relatively soft in the direction of vibration measurements (for example, turbo generator sets
and gas turbines with outputs greater than 10 MW).
