NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 9) which is identical with ISO 8528-9 : 1995 Reciprocating internal
combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets Part 9: Measurement and evaluation
of mechanical vibration issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted
by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Automotive Primemovers Transmission
and Steering Systems and Internal Combustion Engines Sectional Committee and approval of the
Transport Engineering Division Council.
The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention
is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words International Standard appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as Indian Standard.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice
is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian
Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their respective
places are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value
in this standard.

Annex B
(informative)
Remarks

on the assessment

of vibrations

of the generating

set

It has been found that generators operating in generating sets suffer higher values of Vibration severity
compared with those running independently.

Neither do the determined values of Vibration severity

allow us to make a Statement of the torsional and
linear vibrational behaviour of the shaft System.

Typical features of RIC engines are the oscillating

masses, torque fluctuation and pulsating forces in the
associated Pipe-work. All these features exert considerable alternating forces on the main supports and
give rise to high Vibration amplitudes on the main
frame. The Vibration amplitudes are generally higher
than those for rotating machinery, but since they are
largely influenced by the design features of the generating Sets, they tend to remain more constant over
the life of the RIC engine than they do for rotating
machinery.

Even if accurate assessment of mechanical Stresses

in the generating set by using Vibration measurement
is not possible, experience has shown that the vibration level above which important Parts of the generating set are mechanically
damaged
by undue
Vibration stress is usually significantly higher than the
level which is accepted as usual from experience
with similar generating Sets.

The Vibration values determined by using this part of

ISO 8528 allow us to make a general Statement on
the vibrational behaviour of the generating set and a
general assessment of the running behaviour and the
Vibration interactions of the total set. However, the
determined Vibration values do not allow us to make
a Statement on the mechanical Stresses of fixed or
moving Parts of the generating Sets.

However, if the above

and monitoring devices,

and connecting
set, as well as to governing
etc., may occur.

The sensitivity of these components depends on their

design and how they are mounted. Thus, in some individual cases, it may be difficult to avoid Problems
even when the assessment value lies in the usual
range. Such Problems have to be rectified by specific
local measures on the generating set (e.g. by elimination of mounted component resonances).
