erating speed is above the resonant frequency. The gas turbine as a dynamic,<br />

fuel consuming, power producing entity has a specific natural<br />

frequency, which is a combination of the frequencies of its components.<br />

Where the natural frequency of the shaft connecting the compressor<br />

<strong>and</strong> turbine may be at 250 Hz, <strong>and</strong> the natural frequency of the assembled<br />

compressor <strong>and</strong> turbine rotor may be at 25 Hz, the gas turbine,<br />

as an entity, may be at 1.5 Hz.<br />

Vibration measurements usually consist of amplitude (inches),
