ISO 7919-4:1996 Mechanical vibration of non-reciprocating machines - Measurements on rotating shafts and evaluation criteria - Part 4: Gas turbine sets
This part of ISO 7919 gives guidelines for applying evaluation criteria for shaft vibration under normal op-erating conditions, measured at or close to the bearings of gas turbine sets. These guidelines are presented in terms of both steady running vibration and any magnitude changes which may occur in these steady values. The numerical values specified are not intended to serve as the only basis for vibration eval-uation since, in general, the vibratory condition of a machine is assessed by consideration of both the shaft vibration and the associated structural vibration (see the introduction to ISO 7919-1).
This part of ISO 7919 applies to all gas turbine sets (including those with gears) with fluid-film bearings, outputs greater than 3 MW and shaft rotational fre-quencies from 3 000 r/min to 30 000 r/min. Aircraft derivative engines are excluded, since they differ fundamentally from industrial gas turbine sets, both in the type of bearings (rolling element bearings) and in the stiffness and mass ratios of the rotor and support structure. Depending on the construction and mode of operation, there are three principle groupings of gas turbine sets:
— single-shaft constant-speed gas turbine sets;
— single-shaft variable-speed gas turbine sets;
— gas turbine sets with separate shafts for hot gas generation and power delivery.
NOTE 1 Initially these three groups will be assessed in a uniform manner. It is possible, however, that individual cases will have to be assessed differently.
