ASA S2.25-2004 (R2020)
American National Standard - Guide for the Measurement, Reporting, and Evaluation of Hull and Superstructure Vibration in Ships
standard by American National Standards of the Acoustical Society of America, 06/15/2009
Full Description
This Standard establishes uniform procedures for acquiring, processing, presenting, and evaluatingshipboard vibration data for sea-going merchant ships of all lengths, and, where applicable, for inlandships and tugboats. It is applicable to both turbine and diesel-driven ships, with single or multipleshafts, but not to outboard-engine driven boats nor to air-driven vessels such as air-cushion vehicles.It contains guidelines for hull and super-structure vibration for:
a) habitability;
b) mechanical suitability.
Data acquired in accordance with this Standard will be useful for:
a) comparing ship specifications with acceptance trial data;
b) comparing various vessels with each other;
c) limited diagnostics of vibration problems; further development and improvement of vibrationstandards.
