The objective of guidline is to deal with vibrations in pipework systems, and in particular to describe vibration phenomena and the associated kinds of excitation, to describe and explain calculation methods which allow comprehension of loads and which are used for checking the pipework systems, to describe and explain measuring procedures for analysing pipe vibrations, to describe methods for evaluating vibrations and vibration-induced stresses, to specify remedial measures to apply in the event of vibration problems. The air vibrations excited by the vibrating pipes (secondary air-borne sound) are classified under the field of engineering acoustics and will not be dealt with here.
