Vibration, ultrasonic noise, and elevated temperatures are all symptoms of impending failure in plant. TechRentals carries the instrumentation to detect the symptoms and act upon them so you can maintain preventatively rather than remedially.
Vibration analysis is a very important preventative maintenance tool, offering early warning signs by detecting vibration in shafts, bearings or surfaces. The Rion VA-12 Vibration Analyser measures displacement, velocity and acceleration in either Peak, RMS or Peak-to-Peak modes. Also when in FFT mode it is capable of displaying real-time frequency analysis.
Ultrasonic noise, noise of frequency undetectable to the human ear, can be the sign of failing parts or escaping gas. An ultrasonic leak detector such as the UltraProbe 100 assists the operator in pinpointing the source and taking appropriate measures.
Infrared detection, or thermal imaging, allows the operator to detect the infrared energy emitted from a part and interpret that as surface temperature. Thermal imagers such as the Fluke Ti480 employ 307,000 sensors, able to distinguish 0.05°C variances, and display this information on screen, refreshed nine times per second. As no physical contact is required, plant can be assessed under full load conditions where it may otherwise be dangerous or impractical.
