MIL-STD-167-1: Mechanical Vibrations
of Shipboard Equipment

This standard specifies procedures and establishes requirements for environmental and internally excited vibration testing of Naval shipboard equipment installed on ships with conventionally shafted propulsion.

It is an equipment testing standard approved by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Department of the Navy, and is available for use by all Departments and Agencies of the Department of Defense. It establishes the requirements and acceptance criteria for:

• Environmental vibration testing of shipboard equipment.
• Balancing shipboard rotating equipment subjected to internally induced vibration during operation.

MIL-STD-167-1A, environmental vibration testing, and MIL-S-901D, equipment shock testing, provide complementary requirements for the survivability of shipboard equipment.
