VM56

ground borne vibration meter
Tri axial ground borne vibration meter

The VM-56 is a 3 axis groundborne vibration meter which simultaneously measures PPV, VDV and Displacement. It achieves the measurement requirements of BS 6472: Part 1, BS 5228: Part 2 and BS 7385: Part 2. It is equally-suited to live to web measurement with ANV’s LivEnviro System, long-term unattended measurements and attended sample measurements.

Third octave and wav file recording options are available for the VM-56. Together with the extended frequency range (up to 315 Hz) this makes the instrument ideal for assessing groundborne noise issues in addition to building response and directly perceptible vibration.

It is a modern, easy to use Rion meter with a simple menu structure and a colour display. Data is stored as a csv file directly onto an SD card so it can be opened directly into Excel.
