Introduction
Understanding the basics and fundamentals of vibration analysis are very important in forming a solid background to analyze problems on rotating machinery. Switching between time and frequency is a common tool used for analysis. Because the frequency spectrum is derived from the data in the time domain, the relationship between time and frequency is very important. Units of acceleration, velocity, and displacement are typical. Additional terms such as peak-peak, peak, and rms. are often used. Switching units correctly, and keeping terms straight is a must. As much as possible, this training will follow the criteria as established by the Vibration Institute.

Hertz (Hz)
One Hertz (Hz) is equal to 1 cycle / second It is the most common term used in vibration analysis to describe the frequency of a disturbance. Never forget the 1 cycle / second relationship ! Traditional vibration analysis quite often expresses frequency in terms of cycle / minute (cpm). This is because many pieces of process equipment have running speeds related to revolutions / minute (rpm). 60 cpm = 1 cps = 1 Hz

Minimum Derived Hz
The minimum derived frequency is determined by:
Frequency Span / Number of Analyzer Lines (data points)
The frequency span is calculated as the ending frequency minus the starting frequency. The number of analyzer lines depends on the analyzer and how the operator has set it up. Example: 0 - 400 Hz using 800 lines Answer = (400 - 0) / 800 = 0.5 Hz / Line
Jack D. Peters 35
The X Scale
Bandwidth
The Bandwidth can be defined by: (Frequency Span / Analyzer Lines) Window Function Uniform Window Function = 1.0 Hanning Window Function = 1.5 Flat Top Window Function = 3.5
Example: 0 - 400 Hz using 800 Lines & Hanning Window Answer = (400 / 800) 1.5 = 0.75 Hz / Line
Jack D. Peters 36 Note: More discussion later on window functions for the analyzer !
The X Scale
Resolution
The frequency resolution is defined in the following manner:
2 (Frequency Span / Analyzer Lines) Window Function or Resolution = 2 (Bandwidth) Example: 0 - 400 Hz using 800 Lines & Hanning Window Answer = 2 (400 / 800) 1.5 = 1.5 Hz / Line

Using Resolution
The student wishes to measure two frequency disturbances that are very close together. Frequency #1 = 29.5 Hz. Frequency #2 = 30 Hz. The instructor suggests a hanning window and 800 lines. What frequency span is required to accurately measure these two frequency disturbances ?
Jack D. Peters
38
The X Scale
Using Resolution
Resolution = 30 - 29.5 = 0.5 Hz / Line Resolution = 2 (Bandwidth) BW = (Frequency Span / Analyzer Lines) Window Function Resolution = 2 (Frequency Span / 800) 1.5 0.5 = 2 (Frequency Span / 800) 1.5 0.5 = 3 (Frequency Span) / 800 400 = 3 (Frequency Span) 133 Hz = Frequency Span
