Condition monitoring resources for machine builders and users
Sensonics has created a library of condition monitoring resources for machine builders and users comprising the following:
- Application notes
- A Practical Guide to Predictive Maintenance, with tips and techniques for successful condition monitoring
- A Vibration Calculator for for acceleration, velocity and displacement conversions
The application notes cover a variety of different condition monitoring techniques relating primarily to rotating machinery:
- Measuring Differential Expansion on Large Steam Turbines
- Thrust Bearing Monitoring on Boiler Feed Pump Equipment
- IEC 61508 Vibration Protection for Centrifuges
- Overspeed Protection Systems for Power Turbines and MBFPT Equipment
- Measuring Rod Drop on Reciprocating Compressors
- Seismic Protection and Monitoring Systems
These resources will prove very useful for machine builders who appreciate the benefits of integrating condition monitoring within new rotating machinery for reasons of safety or availability, and engineers wanting to retrofit condition monitoring to existing plant [see 'Why machines should have built-in condition monitoring' - Ed].
Condition monitoring specialist Sensonics has been working with industry for over 20 years, advising on predictive maintenance and the optimum condition monitoring systems, as well as supplying appropriate sensors and systems. The company is therefore well placed for preparing the material being offered free of charge via its online technical library.
