Vibration

Portrait

Vibration measurements may well be safety-relevant, for instance during the maintenance of jet engines or for the assessment of the structural dynamics of bridges or buildings. Frequently, they help to improve product quality or to enhance energy efficiency.

 

Sufficiently accurate reference values and reliable measuring equipment are required to objectively measure and evaluat; both prerequisites are fulfilled due to the activities of METAS.  

Services

Our measurement services encompass a wide variety of quantities and measuring equipment as well as the most common vibration sensors.
