material, such as, furniture. This allowance may not be taken after
occupancy. The room attenuating effect is defined as the difference
between sound power level emitted to room and sound pressure level
in room.
4. In absence of specified measurement requirements, measure equipment
noise levels three feet from equipment and at an elevation of maxi-
mum noise generation.
//C. Seismic Restraint Requirements:
1. Equipment:
a. All mechanical equipment not supported with isolators external to
the unit shall be securely anchored to the structure. Such
mechanical equipment shall be properly supported to resist a
horizontal force of // 50 // 20 // percent of the weight of the
equipment furnished.
b. All mechanical equipment mounted on vibration isolators shall be
provided with seismic restraints capable of resisting a
horizontal force of // 100 // 50 // percent of the weight of the
equipment furnished.
2. Piping: Refer to specification Section 23 05 11, COMMON WORK RESULTS
FOR HVAC and STEAM GENERATION.
3. Ductwork: Refer to specification Section 23 31 00, HVAC DUCTS AND
CASINGS.
D. Allowable Vibration Tolerances for Rotating, Non-reciprocating Equip-
ment: Not to exceed a self-excited vibration maximum velocity of 5 mm
per second (0.20 inch per second) RMS, filter in, when measured with a
vibration meter on bearing caps of machine in vertical, horizontal and
axial directions or measured at equipment mounting feet if bearings are
concealed. Measurements for internally isolated fans and motors may be
made at the mounting feet.

NOTES:
1. Edit the Table above to suit where isolator, other than those shown, are used, such as for seismic restraints and
position limit stops.
2. For suspended floors lighter than 100 mm (4 inch) thick concrete, select deflection requirements from next higher span.
3. For separate chiller building on grade, pump isolators may be omitted.
4. Direct bolt fire pumps to concrete base. Provide pads (D) for domestic water booster pump package.
5. For projects in seismic areas, use only SS & DS type isolators and snubbers.
6. For floor mounted in-line centrifugal blowers (ARR 1): use "B" type in lieu of "R" type base.
7. Suspended: Use "H" isolators of same deflection as floor mounted.
