Field Service Field Service Proper installation is critical to the performance, integrity and credibility of your Vibration Monitoring or Information System. A proper installation is dependent on, qua Field Wiring Field Wiring There are a number of items to consider when installing a permanently mounted vibration monitoring system. One of the most critical considerations is the selection and insta Field Application Note: Reverse Dial Alignment Courtesy of STI Vibration Monitoring Inc. www.stiweb.com Misalignment can be the most usual cause for unacceptable operation and high vibration levels. New facilities or new equipm Accelerometer Installation Guide Accelerometer Installation Guide Table of Contents: Section I : Introduction Section II : Mounting Accessories Installation Tools Adhesives and Sealants Accelerometer Transducers and Installation Accelerometer Transducers and Installation Accelerometers have been a popular choice for rotating machinery vibration monitoring. They are a rugged, compact, light weight transducer wi Comparing Vibration Readings Comparing Vibration Readings Comparing vibration level readings taken by different types of instruments and transducers can be very confusing and can lead to mistrust of the systems involve Differential / Rotor Expansion Differential / Rotor Expansion Differential Expansion (DE) and/or Rotor Expansion (RE) are very important measurements usually supplied by the Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) as part of a Eccentricity Eccentricity Shaft Eccentricity plays a very important role as part of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) System on large steam turbines and should be included in retro-fit p Eddy Current (Proximity Probe) Transducer Installation: Part 1 Radial Vibration Eddy Current (Proximity Probe) Transducer Installation: Part 1 Radial Vibration Eddy Current Transducers (Proximity Probes) are the vibration transducer of choice when installing vibrat Fault Detection / OK Circuits Fault Detection / OK Circuits Over the years, two methods of vibration transducer fault detection have become prominent: OK Circuits and Fault Detection Circuits. The objective of b Journal Bearings Journal Bearings Industrial machinery with high horsepower and high loads, such as steam turbines, centrifugal compressors, pumps and motors, utilize journal bearings as rotor supports. Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors Reciprocating Compressors are utilized in all manufacturing industries. Because these machines are capable of providing high pressure along with variable loading, Reverse Dial Alignment Reverse Dial Alignment Mis-alignment can be the most usual cause for unacceptable operation and high vibration levels. New facilities or new equipment installations are often plagued Thrust Position Thrust Position Thrust Position Monitoring was one of the earliest applications for Eddy Current Transducers. When utilized for this application, it is one of the most important componen Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation Improve Reliability and Performance with a TSI from STI Vibration Monitoring STI’s Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) Systems provide cont Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation 1 Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation 1 Specification of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) system can be an exhausting process when the individual parameters must be specified Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation: Shell or Case Expansion Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation: Shell or Case Expansion Shell or Case Expansion is a very important measurement as part of a Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation (TSI) System for la Valve Expansion Valve Expansion Valve position measurements are an important aspect of a complete Turbine Supervisory Instrumentation system. Typically, the Main Steam Control (or Throttle) Valve is Velocity Transducer Installation Velocity Transducer Installation The velocity pickup is a very popular transducer or sensor for monitoring the vibration of rotating machinery.
