Video Vibration Analysis has proven to be an invaluable tool for reliability professionals to assist in visualizing common faults like:
-misalignment
-imbalance
-resonance
-looseness, and more.
The oil and gas industry has historically inspired innovation and technological advancement. As techniques for extracting, moving, and refining fossil fuels improve, and as technology-driven demands increase, the pressure to keep up with these advances can be daunting.
Pumps are common in most plant environments and are critical to the operation of many processes. Even with proper installation and sizing, pump problems are a common concern for reliability programs.
Imagine trying to measure the a 100° F temperature with a thermometer with a high value of 80° F, or your local police trying to catch speeding cars with a radar gun that only goes to 20 MPH. Both situations share the same problem, the sensor is not appropriate for their use!
There are many root causes to vibration in the industrial sector. However, there are four that contribute up to 80%. Watch this tip to find out more about these root causes.
The Gland steam system is one of the most important systems in the work of the steam turbine, that have function to prevents steam escaping to atmosphere from the HP end of the turbine, and loss of vacuum from the LP end.
When it comes to analyzing vibration, sensor placement is key to quality of data capture. Motors can be large, surrounded by equipment and difficult to access, so locating an area to place your vibration sensor can be harder than it looks.
