Hand Arm and Whole Body Vibration Meter

SV 106

The SV 106 Hand Arm and Whole Body Vibration Meter is designed to assess the impact of mechanical vibrations transmitted from machinery on the human body, known as “human vibrations.” This type of vibration is prevalent in industries such as construction, transportation, agriculture, and the military, as well as in any work environment where hand tools or heavy vehicles are utilized. The SV-106 accurately measures human vibrations in accordance with British Standards ISO 2631 and ISO 5349.

 

What is a Hand Arm and Whole Body Vibration Meter?

The hand-arm and whole-body vibration meter, the SV 106, is developed to meet the strict requirements of the BS EN ISO 8041 standard. This standard sets guidelines for the performance specifications of vibration measurement devices, including the measurement range, accuracy, frequency response, linearity, and temperature operating range. With its superior parameters, the SV 106 has become a trusted device for laboratories and professionals across the United Kingdom for measuring human vibrations.

How are vibrations measured?

The SV 106 meter is equipped with six channels of input, enabling simultaneous measurement of both whole-body and hand-arm vibrations. This means that two tri-axial vibration accelerometers can be used at the same time to accurately measure vibrations. The sensors are put close to where the operator touches the vibrating surface of industrial machinery. This makes it possible to get accurate measurements.

Hand Arm Vibration Testing

Calculation of the daily exposure A(8)

The hand-arm vibration tests are based on the calculation of a daily exposure value, called A(8), which is normalized to an eight-hour reference period. According to BS ISO 5349-1, A(8) is found by taking the square root of the sum of the squares (RMS) of the frequency-weighted acceleration values on the orthogonal axes X, Y, and Z.

Vibration Dose Value VDV

Calculating VDV for whole-body vibration

The vibration dose value (VDV) is found by taking the frequency-weighted instantaneous acceleration of the vibration and raising it to the fourth power. The daily exposure to whole-body vibration, known as A(8), is determined as either the highest root mean square (RMS) value or the highest vibration dose value (VDV).

Vibration Accelerometers

MEMS and IEPE Accelerometers Types

Hand-arm and whole-body vibration meters can utilize two types of accelerometers, IEPE and MEMS, each with their own unique construction and operation. IEPE accelerometers are made with piezoelectric materials, while MEMS accelerometers are made with semiconductor fabrication techniques. This makes MEMS accelerometers more resistant to shocks and eliminates the DC shift effect. MEMS accelerometers also use less power and have a flat frequency response all the way down to DC.

Frequency Analysis

How do you measure human vibration frequencies?

According to BS ISO 5349 and BS ISO 2631, unweighted frequency spectra are used to measure the vibrational frequencies of humans in order to find out where the vibrations are coming from. The data logger of the Hand Arm and Whole Body Vibration Meter is capable of storing information about 1/3 octaves, with configurable logging intervals for convenience.

HAVS

Hand arm vibration syndrome

Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) is a well-known occupational disease in the UK that is caused by exposure to hand-arm vibrations. It manifests as a vascular disorder characterized by reduced blood circulation in the fingers. To stop HAVS from happening, it is very important to measure hand-arm vibration levels correctly.

Whole-Body Vibration

What causes whole body vibration?

According to BS ISO 2631, whole-body vibrations are the vibrations that come from vehicles, machinery, and industrial activities. These vibrations have a big effect on people's comfort, activities, and health. The measurement of whole-body vibrations is performed using sensors that are flat and in the shape of a seat pad. For accurate measurements, these sensors are placed right on the seat cushion, on the floor, or on the back of the seat.
