Micromotion Coriolis Mass Flowmeters

(OP)
Has anyone come across any allowable ambient vibration spectrum parameters for locations where Micromotion coriolis mass flowmeters will be installed?  From experience, we know that "high" ambient vibration is a problem.  However, our knowledge is only qualitative, not quantitative.

For those not familiar with these flow meters, they function by sending fluid through 2 U shaped tubes which act as cantilever beams.  The tubes are vibrated in oposition to one another.  Mass flow around the U bends leads to coriolis effects which cause a twisting of the tubes.  This twisting is detected as a phase shift between the 2 U tube legs.  I believe the meters operate at a frequency around 80 Hz.
