Authority
This edition of ANSI/AMCA Standard 204 was adopted by the membership of the Air Movement and Control
Association International, Inc., on 03 August 2003. This standard addresses the need of both the users and
manufacturers of fans for technically accurate but uncomplicated information of the subjects of fan balance
precision and vibration levels. The data presented herein is referenced to applicable national and international
standards and is in harmony with these standards, including ISO 14694:2003, Industrial fans - Specification for
balance quality and vibration levels. Information from the reference standards is supplemented by years of
experience on the part of committee members and from other contributors in the industry.

Generally, there is no simple relationship between broad-band acceleration, velocity and displacement; nor is
there one between peak (pk), peak-to-peak (pk-pk), root-mean-square (rms) and average values of vibration.

D.1 Instruments
Instruments and balancing machines used shall meet the requirements of the task and be within current calibration.
See ANSI S2.19-1989, Section 8. The calibration period for an instrument shall be that recommended by the
instrument manufacturer. Instruments shall be in good condition and suitable for the intended function for the
complete duration of the test. A portable instrument shall not require a battery change during a test.
Personnel operating instruments shall be familiar with the instruments and shall possess enough experience to
detect a possible malfunction or degradation of instrument performance. When an instrument requires corrective
measures or calibration, it shall be removed from service until corrective action is taken.
D.2 Calibration
All instruments shall have a calibration against a known standard. The complexity of the calibration may vary from
a physical inspection to a complete calibration traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Use
of a calibrated weight to determine residual unbalance such as described in ANSI S2.19-1989, Section 8.3 is one
accepted method of calibrating instrumentation.
