本标准建立了获取、处理、呈现和评估的统一程序 适用于所有长度的海上商船的船上振动数据，以及适用于内陆商船的船上振动数据 船只和拖船。它适用于涡轮机和柴油机驱动的船舶，有单艘或多艘 轴，但不适用于舷外发动机驱动的船舶，也不适用于气垫船等气动船舶。 它包含船体和上部结构振动指南:a）宜居性；b） 机械适用性。根据本标准获得的数据将有助于:a）将船舶规范与验收试验数据进行比较；b） 比较各种容器；c） 振动问题的有限诊断；振动的进一步发展和改进 标准。

This Standard establishes uniform procedures for acquiring, processing, presenting, and evaluating shipboard vibration data for sea-going merchant ships of all lengths, and, where applicable, for inland ships and tugboats. It is applicable to both turbine and diesel-driven ships, with single or multiple shafts, 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 vibration standards.
