The vibration activity monitor is a relatively simple hardware and software system designed to provide updated predictions of the fatigue-loading activity in the jacket major-member welds of offshore oil platforms.
The long length, large investments, sometimes high risk of human and environmental impact along with difficult access conditions, make an automated monitoring system desirable for pipelines, tunnel
The 147A Low Noise model is +/- 4g full scale and provides excellent dynamic range which is useful when used with 24-bit digitizers like the REF TEK 130S Series Data Loggers and the 130-MC recorder.
Structures such as high-rise buildings, dams, oil platforms and bridges are subject to vibration, ground movement, extreme weather conditions and construction activities. Any of these can have an impact on their structural health.
