Hand-Arm Vibration Dosimeter SV 103

SV 103 Human Vibration Meter (Personal Human Vibration Exposure Meter) is dedicated to hand-arm vibration measurements. The instrument meets ISO 8041:2021 and is the ideal choice for making measurements according to ISO 5349 and European Directive 2002/44/EC. The SV 103 Human Vibration Meter significantly decreases the measurement uncertainty as the instrument is attached to the user’s arm and is small enough to take daily vibration exposure measurements without interfering with normal working activities.

The SV 103 Human Vibration Meter uses our latest accelerometer, the SV 107, that has a contact force sensor in addition to the standard accelerometer. Contact force is the sum of grip force and push force and is therefore a measurement of how firmly a user is holding the vibrating tool. This is a recommendation of the new standards and the reading from the contact force sensor is also displayed on the screen.

The SV 107 accelerometer is based on MEMS, the very latest in transducers technology. MEMS gives many advantages including shock resistance, very low power consumption and frequency response down to DC. The usage of MEMS breaks the technological barrier of a weight and dimensions additionally reducing the cost of the complete system.

A(8) vibration exposure both in m/s² and points

SV 103 measures the A(8) vibration exposure in accordance with the ISO 5349-2 and European 2002/44/EC both in m/s² and points. The exposure time is automatically selected with the force detection sensor and can be verified in the PC software.

MEMS accelerometers

The robust triaxial accelerometer

The SV 107 tri-axial MEMS accelerometer is extremely robust, SHOCK RESISTANT, uses very low power and is free of the DC-shift effect that adversely affects systems based on piezoelectric accelerometers. The SV 107 TRI-AXIAL accelerometer meets requirements of the ISO 5349 and is worn on the palm of the hand so it can be used underneath gloves.

Contact force

Detection of the contact of the hand with a tool

ISO 5349-2 defines that hand-arm vibration measurement should be made when worker’s hands makes contact with the vibrating surface until the contact is broken. With the SV 107 vibration sensor, it became possible to automatically obtain information about the period that the hand is in contact with the vibrating surface and to obtain the daily exposure time.

Hand-Arm Vibration

Hand-arm vibration meter
in accordance to ISO 5349 and ISO 8041

Hand-arm vibration occurs when one or both of the upper limbs is in contact with a vibrating surface (e.g. power tools, steering wheels and levers to control vehicles). Changes in the human body resulting from contact with mechanical vibrations are recognized as an occupational disease called “vibration syndrome” (or “vibration disease”). The only effective way to avoid vibration disease is by prevention. The ISO 5349 contributes to the gathering of consistent data in order to improve occupational safety. In particular, ISO 5349 specifies the general requirements for the measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration.
