So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Why Utilizing Machine Condition Monitoring Would Be Good For You

By Judy G. Abdullah


Potential mechanical failure can be avoided by using a procedure called machine condition monitoring, which is the process of locating any major changes that can lead to machine failure. One of the most major components of the whole process is predictive maintenance. Scheduled machine maintenance is the main reason to use machine condition monitoring, as it helps avoid potential failure before it ever occurs. Deviated temperature vibration behavior must happen in order for any machine failure to be displayed on the machinery.

Predictive maintenance cannot be used in order to guess future failure. Defect free machines are less at risk than machines that already have recent defects. In order to calculate the degradation of a mechanical system, CM systems are used once the fault has been spotted and located. Intervening at the beginning of the process will help save more money than letting the machine fail altogether. The overall lifespan and condition of a machine can be greatly increased by benefiting from using machine condition monitoring to find subsequent heat dissipation and load way before mistakes that will be repeated occur. Rotating and stationary machinery such as boilers and heat exchangers are examples of machines that are often examined with machine condition monitoring.

A typical method for analyzing rotating machines for vibration is called vibration analysis. Multiple machines have a major component called casing vibrations, which is the process of taking measurements of machines that bear casing seismic electric transducers. Radial and axial vibration in a rotating shaft can be examined using eddy-current transducers that measure the vibration of each shaft. How critical the situation is can be determined by historical aspects of the machine such as startups and shutdowns in order to make a valid comparison to the standards of load changes and the level of vibration.

Only if measure by a specific set of rules will it is true that machine condition monitoring can find any form of underlying aspect that may or may not be obvious to the eye or visually inspected. In order for these inspections to be thought of as machine condition monitoring, at the time of observation the results and conditions much be able to be compared against comparative tests for previous and future measurements.

Leaks or cracks located on the pipe work are not the only attributes that are involved in visually analyzing with machine condition monitoring. The existing condition must be compared to previous inspections to be considered accurate and to present current supported parameters. Condition assessment is when an observation is done due to previous inspections, whereas machine condition monitoring requires that the test is comparative to any previous data and reports that are a valuable and accepted comparison.
