ISO 16587:2004 PDF Download

ISO 16587:2004 is a standard that provides guidelines for assessing the condition of structures through mechanical vibration and shock measurements. The standard covers various aspects such as types of measurements, acceptable performance limits, data acquisition parameters, and measurement techniques. It also includes guidance on terminology, transducer calibration, transducer mounting, and transfer function techniques.

The standard focuses on in-service monitoring of structures and aims to provide ongoing monitoring throughout the lifecycle of the structure. It is applicable to various industries including construction, infrastructure, transportation, power generation, oil and gas, and leisure and entertainment.

ISO 16587:2004 specifically applies to stationary structures such as buildings, bridges and tunnels, towers, masts and antennae, tanks and silos, retaining walls and dams, jetties and other shore-side structures, offshore platforms, pressure vessels, and pipelines. However, it excludes non-stationary structures like self-propelled ships and mobile structures like offshore jack-up platforms.
