Preventive or Predictive ? Discussion on an article titled 'Dont waste your time and money with condition monitoring'
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Also, authors use different meanings/applications for the same term/strategy . Frankly, there are so many contradictions. Do all agree that a major planned overhaul of a large compressor is considered a PM? No. Do all agree that a routine vibration measurement survey is maintenance by itself? No. Do all agree that an action based on a routine vibration measurement survey is proactive maintenance? No. Do all agree that an online vibration measurement is exactly a routine survey but done on an... [ more ]
Registered Member Yes, there are many examples where authors use different terms to define same strategy. [ more ]
Registered Member Perhaps there are terms that have different meanings to different people which creates a dispute. For example, what does RCM (Reliability Centered Maintenance) exactly mean and what are its outcomes? This is a topic sentence from the article: "RCM can only release its benefits if the degradation rate of failure modes is suitably consistent." Perhaps some reliability specialists would argue/disagree with it. If I recall correctly, the RCM study may advise the owner (based on many inputs) to... [ more ]

Frequency estimation on Mobius bearing fault simulation
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I like the SKF calculator. Excellent tool. [ more ]
Registered Member Interesting online calculator indeed. Also, interesting question. I guess your question is about observing a change in the calculated frequencies on the lower left part of the calculator when you tick or untick the box for Estimate frequencies. I've played with the calculator to reproduce what you saw. Ticking or unticking the box actually changes the values and my explanation for this is below. The way the calculator was programmed is based on two cases which are taught in the vibration... [ more ]

Vibration Analysis Level 1 (or 2) Practice Question Q 45
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Jake, Thanks for the chart. I've comments that might be useful for some readers. There is a fundamental difference between the two waveforms (in Jake's post) which is physics. To explain this, let us use a third illustration. [source: https://www.researchgate.net/f...ia-18_fig1_262450664 ] Jake's upper plot is the amplitude (elevation of a point of the string) in the y-axis versus the location of points (examples are A, B, C, etc) along the length of the string on the x-axis. So here we look... [ more ]

Batch Sugar Centrifuge Vibration problem
RM Registered Member
Registered Member We can balance only in single plane because we don't have access to other side,Those side movement might happen due to assembly error. We have successfully balanced onsite in single plane . I suggested before to check, if any assembly error might happen. Because I did not get any looseness in spectrum but 1X. [ more ]
Registered Member I have seen shop balanced rotors (but I havenever worked on a sugar screen) that had to be trim balanced when installed in the actual, on-site driven position. I am still confused about the visible movement in your video of the one, I guess your are currently working on, that has so much side movement when the brake is applied. Is this a common thing in all of these type basket designs? Appears that the mounting and driver is loosely mounted. The video does not seem to show any side movement... [ more ]
Registered Member I have balanced before centrifuges and batch sugar baskets on site. But mostly they sent for shop balancing. [ more ]

Audit it. Improve it! Getting the most from your vibration monitoring program
RM Registered Member
Registered Member All MRO-Zone books are available with a 30-day money back - even from Amazon.com I just re-read this book - and yes, our company is the publisher, so we are huge fans of Alan's work, but I think this book and workbook is a must read for anyone managing ANY type of condition monitoring program. If you have read the book and agree - please post a review at Amazon.com to encourage Alan to keep writing and to spread the word. [ more ]
Registered Member Thanks for your interest. I am sorry, but I don't have parts of the book in a format I can share. You can purchase here though: http://www.amazon.com/Audit-Im...rogram/dp/1941872247 [ more ]

Asset Management, Asset Mortality, and Sustainability
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I thought the RCM report by N&H already said so because most failures (about 80%) are random and the remaining are those failures due to uniform degradation mechanisms like wear or corrosion which are applicable to tires and light bulbs. [ more ]
Registered Member Read the article but didn't really get anything out of it. What did I miss? [ more ]

critical speed
RM Registered Member
Registered Member critical speed is the speed when the natural frequency is excited by the mass residual unbalance force. at this state the mass factor and the stiffness factor are against each other in direction which cause to lower the system resistance to vibration force. any type of rotor will have one or more critical speed. so it will be like 1st critical speed 2nd critical speed and so on. [ more ]
Registered Member Dear The reason is that when an equipment is operated at critical speed resonance occurs shooting vibration amplitude. Which can lead to failure. Zaheer [ more ]
Registered Member Critical speed is the speed at which equipment has highest vibration amplitude. Critical speeds are not different types. A pump should not be operated at its critical speed. Example: If you have a pump that starts from 0 RPM and 890 RPM is its maximum speed. If pump critical speed is 800 CPM then design changes are required. This is some basics for your understanding.

Maintenance and Reliability Books
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Asset management focusing on developing maintenance strategies and improving performance, edited by Alan Wilson, follows on from the original Asset Management book published in 1999. http://www.maintenanceonline.org/article.asp?id=6987 [ more ]
Registered Member I have been following Vee and Terry since long. Not only in this website but as well as in AMP. I would have to mention the work of Ricky Smith and Joel Leonard in the field of Maintenance & Reliability. Request Vee and other Authors to ensure that 'Indian' editions are released too so that it becomes viable for us to grab or order that copy which the whole world is going ga-ga over. Vee can appreciate this better. I am now preparing for CMRP and have somehow managed to read RCM II,... [ more ]
Registered Member Danged interesting idea.....there are so few references on the subject, and I don't know of any great flow of new information, and many of the good ones are either out of print, or will be soon....... I would be willing to put my two cents in.....some prime candidates (IMHO) are: Any of Jim Taylor's stuff - I don't think it is print any more, but there is (I think) a signficant inventory of his books stockpiled and available Art Crawford's wonderful Vol I and Vol II, which may still be...

100 Years in Maintenance & Reliability by V. Narayan, JW Wardhaugh and MC Das
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I have read Vees book and its recommended reading for the students on Robert Gordon Unversity's MSc in Asset Integrity and Management. As Terry as highlighted its one of the few easy reading books where you can pick it and read a chapter that delivers a case study. One I liked was how pump reliability went from 10 months to 40+ months and the tactics that were used. There is also another interesting chapter on achieving a reliability culture among the workforce. [ more ]
