VA-14 Vibration Analyzer
VA-14 professional vibration analyzer for human vibration assessment per ISO 8041, hand-arm (ISO 5349) and whole-body (ISO 2631) measurements, machine condition monitoring, and FFT diagnostics — ideal for occupational health, oil & gas, construction, and industrial safety in the GCC.
Overview
The VA-14 is a professional-grade vibration analyzer engineered for human vibration assessment and machine condition monitoring. It delivers precise measurements in full compliance with ISO 8041:2017, the international standard governing vibration measurement instrumentation for evaluating human exposure. For occupational health and safety, the VA-14 provides simultaneous triaxial measurement wit…

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the VA-14 meet ISO 8041 requirements?
Yes, the VA-14 fully complies with ISO 8041:2017, the international standard for human vibration measurement instrumentation. This ensures accurate frequency-weighted vibration measurements for both hand-arm and whole-body assessments, accepted by occupational health regulators worldwide including in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the broader GCC region. - Can the VA-14 measure both hand-arm and whole-body vibration?
Yes, the VA-14 provides all ISO frequency-weighting filters for both types: Wh for hand-arm vibration assessment per ISO 5349, and Wk, Wd, Wc, Wj, and Wm for whole-body vibration assessment per ISO 2631. You can switch between assessment modes and perform simultaneous triaxial measurements for maximum efficiency. - How does the VA-14 calculate daily vibration exposure A(8)?
The VA-14 automatically calculates the 8-hour energy-equivalent vibration total value A(8) from frequency-weighted RMS acceleration measurements per ISO 5349 (hand-arm) and ISO 2631 (whole-body). It applies the correct axis weighting factors, combines partial exposures from different tools or vehicles, and compares results against the Exposure Action Value (EAV = 2.5 m/s²) and Exposure Limit Value (ELV = 5 m/s²) defined by the EU Physical Agents Directive 2002/44/EC.
