In a previous article, we wrote about 11 important considerations for choosing the right accelerometer. However, to achieve reliable measurement results, the mounting method is crucial for maximizing accuracy. Various…
When a rotating machine reaches its resonant frequency, it can lead to severe damage to the machine (and the plant), injury to employees, and massive financial consequences. This must be…
For monitoring and overseeing rotating machines (pumps, motors, fans, gearboxes), you naturally want to use reliable and high-quality vibration monitoring systems. In this article, we discuss 11 key points to…
In this article, we tell you more about IEPE and charge accelerometers (also known as acceleration meters, accelerometers, or accelerometers) and how these are used for vibration measurements on rotating…
“20 billion is lost each year due to unplanned downtime” (Automation.com, 2016). An effective way of predictive maintenance has been an important topic within the industry for years. Often, it…
In previous articles, we discussed the reasons to consider investing in a condition monitoring system (part 1), the financial impact of a maintenance policy without a condition monitoring system (part…
In part 2 of this series, the financial arguments and implications of a maintenance policy without a condition monitoring system were discussed. This follow-up article will focus on the financial…
In part 1 of this series, we discussed why it is difficult to financially justify the investment in a condition monitoring system. To continue from here, this second part describes…
This article consists of four chapters consecutively; Problems regarding financial justification for investing in a condition monitoring system (current chapter) Financial argumentation and the consequences of a maintenance policy without…
Since the operational importance of this type of installations is very high, as much relevant data as possible will be collected and analyzed. The most effective way to monitor these…
Installations < 50 MW represent a very large group, varying in power, structure, and function. The work methodology and requirements will also differ greatly depending on the type of installation,…
