Vibration Analysis & Diagnostics
Various techniques are employed in order to make the proper machine
condition diagnostics including statistical narrowband spectral alarms
envelopes, high frequency demodulation, time waveform analysis, high and
low frequency spectral analysis.
Machine health conditions
diagnosed includes:
-
Rolling Element
Bearing Problems
-
Journal Bearing
Problems
-
Misalignment
-
Looseness
-
Resonance
-
Imbalance
-
Electrical Problems on
AC and DC Motors
-
Gear Problems
-
Cavitations
-
Belt Drive Problems

With routine inspections, changes in the machine's condition
will be detected and trended. Severity of faults will also be trended
every inspection. Failure rates can be established as more information
about the machine and how it responds to the different dynamic forces
around it is gathered over time. Inspection interval can be adjusted,
if needed, after a good baseline is established. Mid-routine or
emergency test is done as needed.
Machine Healthcare
Methodology by ECS2 Group:
|
Technician
prepares the machine.
Vibration puck
is installed. |
-
Machine is prepared for inspection.
This includes identifying test locations and attaching
vibration pucks on machine
surface for vibration test consistency.
-
Machine identification is established
in the ExpertAlert software. Vibration settings are
programmed. Machine groupings are done, if applicable.
-
Initial vibration test data is
collected and analyzed. Comparison method is employed, if
applicable.
-
Ultrasound PdM test on a machine is
also done, if applicable, in addition to vibration analysis
test.
-
Diagnostics are trended and categorized
based on condition severity level.
-
Findings and recommendations are
submitted.
-
Test is repeated based on a
pre-scheduled vibration test interval. Emergency test is
done, if needed.

A Level 3 experienced ASNT Vibration Analyst
and Level 2 Ultrasonic Inspector is involved in the whole
process and analyzes the data collected. |
