Ultrasonic Superheat Bypass Valve Inspection

Ultrasonic Superheat Bypass Valve Inspection

If you’ve attended ultrasound training courses, then you most likely learned about how to use a four point inspection for valves, no matter the valve type. However, the discussions within this practice or application always lead to other valve inspections. Among them is the use of ultrasound to listen to a valve through non-contact, or simply aiming the instrument at the valve to determine its condition. This would be like having an inverted bucket steam trap that has a “blow-by” condition (steam blow through). By simply aiming the ultrasound at the inverted bucket trap, the user would be able to hear the steam rushing through the valve and creating enough high frequency to determine its condition. However, a more favorable practice is making contact with the trap.

10 Components of a Successful Vibration Program: Part 1

Understanding the 10 components of a condition monitoring (CM) program is the first step in making them work to support you and your organization’s goals. The 10 main components comprising a condition monitoring program are shown in Figure 1. Each of the components relates to and affects all of the others. Like the supports of a structure, they all must be balanced for the structure to stand. This is the introduction to a 10-part series covering each of the 10 components of a successful program. A more in-depth handling of the subject matter can be found in the book, Audit It. Improve It! Getting the Most from Your Vibration Monitoring Program by Alan Friedman, available at the MRO-Zone Bookstore.
