Dear Experts,

We at our fertilizer plant is using Old ISO-2372 standard for casing vibrations limits. There is new standard ISO-10816 which replaces ISO2372, however, the team is of the view that old standard ISO2372 is more stringent.

Also, as we have old machines at our plant, stringent requirements will benefit in longer run to keep machines running at lower levels of vibrations and hence increase reliability.

Can anyone please tell me if our thinking is OK? Also what is the major difference between the two standards?

Regards.

stringent requirements will benefit in longer run to keep machines running at lower levels of vibrations and hence increase reliability.

This is not necessarily sound logic. ISO standards do (attempt to) set severity levels that  permit operation without deterioration from vibration. Setting lower limit values than that will not add much if any value. Your plant reliability data would be an excellent guide in this area.

There are some 20816 standards out if they pertain to your equipment.
