Method and application
Measurements are taken at defined points and in defined directions on equipment such as pumps, motors and fans. Data is examined alongside speed, load, mounting conditions and historical records. Indications of imbalance, misalignment, looseness and bearing issues are assessed.
Scope of application
- Vibration measurement on rotating equipment
- Analysis of frequency content and characteristic indications
- Trend monitoring using comparable historical data
- Reporting to support maintenance planning
- Structural resonance assessment according to the project scope
- On-site dynamic balancing of suitable equipment under appropriate conditions
A single measurement cannot determine exactly when a failure will occur. Trend monitoring requires regular, comparable measurements under similar operating conditions.
Reporting
Reports document measurement points, operating conditions, findings and follow-up recommendations. Additional examinations are planned where necessary.
