As defined by ISO 8041, a Human Vibration Meter (HVM) is a device that uses a vibrational transducer, signal processor, and display to measure human response to vibrations. HVM is typically used in hand-arm vibration measurements to prevent HAVS. In whole-body, they are typically used for the calculation of Vibration Dose Value.
Human vibrations are mechanical vibrations that are transmitted directly to the human body, affecting different tissues in different ways. There are three types of human vibrations:
Hand Arm Vibration Testing
Calculation of the daily exposure A(8)
Vibration Dose Value
Calculating VDV for whole-body vibration
Types of Accelerometers

The vibrations are measured by sensors that are attached to the meter with cables. The sensors are placed near the contact with the vibrating surface of industrial machinery. Take a look at some of the features that make the SV 106D the world's leading human vibration meter.
Whole-Body Vibration
What causes human vibration?
Whole-body vibration which, according to ISO 2631, are vibrations from machinery, vehicles, and industrial processes that have an impact on people's comfort, activities, and health. This type of human vibration measurement is done with sensors that are flat and in the shape of a seat pad. It is placed directly on the seat cushion, floor, or fastened to the rear of the seat.
