Flatness Measurement Application Note Courtesy of Damalini Flatness Flatness measurement is done on for example machine tables, wire parties in paper making machines, flanges (circular planes), machine foundations Straightness Measurement Application Note Courtesy of Damalini Straightness measurement is done on a large number of applications, for example balks, rolls, machine constructions, transportation lines etc. The basic 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 Plumb Line Measurement Application Note Courtesy of Damalini Measurement of straightness and center line relative to an absolute plumb line is done on for example turbine and generator shafts. The measurement program uses What does the SKF OilCheck TMEH 1 Measure?   What does the SKF OilCheck TMEH 1 measure? The SKF OilCheck TMEH 1 measures the change of the dielectric constant of oil. As a consequence of contamination (by water, metal p IR Measurements and Emissivity IR Measurements and Emissivity A basic understanding of emissivity and reflectivity of materials is required for using and understanding Infrared temperature measurements. All materials emit thermal SAE to SUS SUS Range Covered by SAE Oil Ratings SAE No. SUS Range @ 100°F 5W 30-140 10W 140-210 20W 210-500 20 170-370 30 370-560 Sound and Noise Exposure Facts Any exposure to noise above 85dB can damage the human hearing; as a rule of thumb, the ambient sound is too loud if you can not carry on a conversation without raising your voice. Occupational noise Acceleration Enveloping Application Enveloping Acceleration envelope measurements are a new introduction to the inventory available to vibration analysts. Although initially it would seem to be most useful for detecting 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 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 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. PM Program Part 2: Routes PM Program Part 2: Routes This application note will provide a basis for creation of a Predictive Maintenance (PM) data collector route. Establishing an efficient PM data collector ro 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 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 Marine Corrosion   Link to RDI-CRE Corrosion Sensor and Kit   Marine Corrosion  Types of Marine Corrosion: Metal parts underwater are subjected to two basic types of corrosion: g Dial Indicator Alignment Dial Indicator Alignment Procedure The procedure for doing reverse dial indicator alignment is not a difficult one.  There are several steps which need to be taken for a s Thermography Thermography Courtesy of SKF Maintenance Products Detect hot spots before they cause trouble.   Since the dawn of the industrial age, temperature has been us
