This is why I, and others, CRY REFERENCE!!!
I work in a field.....where something like 15,000 rpm equals 12,456
hz.......some are transfixed on that exact number.....others..with "realworld"
experience realize that anything close is fine.........especially when you
consider.....the mechanical "safety margin" is 150% of rated speed.....
The "bottom line" is that the "event" triggers RESPONSE!! imo
