Greetings Akashri, Mr. Kumar is correct in all the above, problem is now you have to determine which one it is and how to correct it. Most of the time I have found it to be a Engineering design issue by Turbulence, improper positioning of elbow, strainer etc.. but the best way I have found to determine this is by using an Ultrasonic leak detector head-set. Using this can help you determine the location of the cavitation then guide you to what you should be looking for i.e. bad pump seals,... [ more ]
Greetings Akashri , Cavitation can form in any type of fluid transfer centrifugal pump . Cavitation occurs when air, steam, or thermal fluid vapors become entrained in the fluid. Fortunately, cavitation exhibits clear warning signs before it becomes a facility-threatening issue. Some of the symptoms of cavitation include Decreased flow or pressure: When a pump produces lower flow volume or pressures than expected, it may be a result of cavities forming in internal components. Noise:... [ more ]
Sure, cavitation can take place in H/C pumps. Regards- Ali M. Al-Shurafa [ more ]

Condition monitoring is crucial in the predictive maintenance of machinery. The process involves monitoring specific conditions and parameters of the machine in real-time. This helps in predicting machine failures and unplanned asset breakdowns. However, keep in mind that maintenance should only be performed when emerging faults and can also be identified early on. These emerging faults can be predicted by gathering historical data of the machinery and monitoring the temperature and the... [ more ]
Thank you Jim and Shurafa for your comments. This is the real case. [ more ]
I tend to agree with Jim. One of the best practices is to review and revise the setpoints based on the plant-specific experience, perhaps every three years or so. The setpoints could go up or down. If failures took place while the reading was below the shutdown setpoint, this is a flag that there is a weakness somewhere. Maybe the period between data collection is too far, maybe the setpoint is too high, maybe the failure mode is not detectable early enough by vibration etc. On the other... [ more ]

Condition monitoring is one of the vital tools in the predictive maintenance of assets. Through condition monitoring, maintenance can be easily scheduled, unplanned downtime can be avoided, and emerging faults and can also be identified. By determining when an asset fails, technicians can follow safe work practices. With the help of condition monitoring, the technician can also focus on the correct fault and not waste time checking each part of the asset. If you are planning to implement... [ more ]
There are many considerations to take into account before purchasing an online system. I have experience with several manufacturer's and here is what I have learned: 1. These systems require some knowledge of computer networking. You may need a little (or a lot) of help from your IT department to make it work. Especially if the data will leave your local network. 2. The cost of sensors, cables and electrician's time can far outweigh the cost of the core system. Don't forget to take this into... [ more ]

Did you make an adapter yet? Walt [ more ]
Just to be clear, I have a 2120-2 analyzer with CSI-626 Volts-Accel. 2-channal adapter. Your analyzer and/or adapter may be different. Pin Assignments per your figure with A & B are input BNC channels: A-Volts on Pin-23 and A-Accel. on Pin-21 B-Volts on Pin-18 and B-Accel. also on Pin-18 Pin-22 is shield and common for both A & B and Volts and Accel. switch setting. These pin-outs were obtained with a digital VOM meter with Ohms-speaker setting. You can check your adapter the same... [ more ]

Hello @Registered Member yes it collects routes which can be setup from the software. The trending can be done too in the software. You can contact the distributor directly, if you want you can include my reference (Waqas from UAE). [ more ]
Only a vibrations analyzer? Does it collect routes? Can you trend process readings as well as vibration readings? It’s an interesting looking tool. Who sells it in Uk and Ireland? [ more ]
Dear Ali, since you are looking for an Analyzer with good options and both cost effective, I suggest that you look apart from the usual brands in the market. There are several options available and these analyzers give you quite useful data with reasonable price.. One of the option is the Analyzer from Crystal Instruments, they have recently launched a new model which is only a Vibration Analyzer CoCo-70X Read more here https://www.crystalinstruments...x-vibration-analyzer They have another...

85 C = 185 F, if my math is correct. The word "normal" means different things to different people. Normal can mean possible to happen in real world and it not uncommon. If this is what you mean, than this is "normal" in my world. We can discuss the reasons for the increase but my feelings are you want to ask if the increase is acceptable or not. Typically, when I analyze data and it's acceptance, I don't investigate why data is acceptable. I do investigate if the temperature (or other... [ more ]
Thanks for replies, We divided Bearings temperature data into Operational period only (steady state) and saw that temperature of all bearings is gradually rising over 3 year period (from start till now). For example from 68 to 85 (for active thrust bearing). Comparing to the neighbor pump we see the same trend, however the temperature less for 3-4 degree. We assume this is because there is more frequent top up in the lube tank. So, is this normal behavior for bearings temperature over time? [ more ]
Your question is much too general. It is reasonable to expect bearing temperatures to rise over time. I assume you are talking about from start to fully operational? The real question is to what maximum level? Is it different than what you have measured before? or compared to a similar pump? What does your pump manufacturer say? If "over time" you mean at NOP/NOT over months of operation, then you might, as suggested, consider too much lubricant being added. Once you answer those questions... [ more ]

If the problem is repeatable start to start, why not just balance it? I've seen a number of people search for the right spot to balance - if that is part of your question. However, the place to balance is anywhere that is accessible (including safe to place a weight) and for which the rotor responds. [ more ]
if you prepare data like above then it is possible to pin point the source of unbalance ie phase reading and vibration data [ more ]

I would agree with the comments from Walt about the expected type of bearing used for classic small motors. So analysts monitoring these machines do not really need deep details about orbit and other plots associated with fluid film bearings. Nevertheless, a very good reference for fluid film bearings is Orbit magazine that is issued by Bently Nevada (GE). The archived articles are free to download and very helpful as many of them explain the theory in a simple language but with industrial... [ more ]
Thanks Walt. I won't get anymore information until I get there as its in a different country and run through my uni, so all I can do at the moment is practice and gain general info. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find some journal bearing proximity probe data to practice the shaft position, orbit plots, spectrum and waveform with would you? Thanks Matt [ more ]

With respect to the 208P/Adre for Windows software, I do not think the "overhead" for the A/D converter is as high as 50%. That is a spec we (I worked for BN) generally didn't publish but the value of 5% or 20% overhead capability is common in industrial design. I personally would not use anything above the 20% level for either the 208P or 408DSPi. [ more ]
If this is the 208 system then it saves the data up to 50% over the Full Scale Range (10 mil FS goes to 15 mils). Yes the samples are labeled "Flagged Data" and can be included or excluded from the plots. If this is the 408 then I am not sure. Talmadge [ more ]
Straight from the Help file. As far as over ranging, there is some headroom and as best I recall it is about 10% to 20%. [ more ]
