Avoid Asset Failure with Wireless Monitoring

An hour long presentation by James F. Haza, senior sales consultant, Honeywell Process Solutions

Ninety percent of rotating assets in industrial plants are not instrumented due to the high cost of wiring vibration monitoring systems. Today, wireless technology is changing how facilities approach asset management. Plants are now instrumenting their non critical assets with wireless vibration transmitters and self-monitoring intelligent vibration analysis applications.

NFPA 70E-2012 Are You Ready for the Changes?

By Tim Rohrer

The Evolution of a Standard

Standards can be thought of as an evolution. Generally speaking, any standard is a series of compromises between those who are attempting to change standard practices to reflect advancements in technology or knowledge and those attempting to maintain some version of the status quo. A friend of mine who introduced me to the standards process compared it to sausage making - "a pretty ugly process to watch, but the end product can be quite good."

Safe Electrical Work Planning & Plant Reliability

By Mike Doherty

It is agreed upon by most that the electrical system in any plant is a major factor in its reliability and therefore, profitability.

The Greatest Engineering Achievements of the 20th Century website at www.greatachievements.org states that "Electrification" is the single most important of the top 20 engineering achievements. The next 19 would not have been possible without electricity. The same holds true for electrification at your plant and its reliability. Without an outstanding electrical system that is maintained at the highest standards, reliability can and will suffer.

Determining thermal growth and pipe strain for the alignment process

An hour long presentation by Mr. Ron Newman, Technical Sales & Support Representative, PRUFTECHNIK, Canada

Misalignment has long been recognized as one of the leading causes of vibration in rotating machines. Under ideal conditions, laser shaft alignment is a correction method that is well understood and practiced, however under difficult conditions it can quickly become a major headache. Increasing our understanding of thermal growth, pipe strain and other factors will go a long way in helping to resolve that problem alignment job!

Establishing Ultrasound Testing as a CBM Pillar Part 2

By Allan Rienstra and Thomas Murphy

"There's lots of talk about the benefits of implementing CBM and the positive impact that condition monitoring technologies like ultrasound testing can have. It seems we all have a good grasp of what it is and why we need it. The ultimate challenge is to move from inception to launch stage. Show me HOW TO DO IT."

Detecting Bearing Faults - Part 3

by Jason Tranter

In the two previous articles (Dec/Jan 2011, Apr/May 2011), the focus has been on how the vibration changes when a "typical" bearing fault develops. We have explored spectrum analysis, time waveform analysis, and a raft of high frequency detection techniques. But there are a number of fault conditions related to rolling element bearings that will not necessarily change the vibration patterns in the ways described thus far. Thus, in this article we will explore fault conditions that relate to poor installation (cocked on the shaft or on in the housing), current flow through the bearing (EDM damage), skidding, and slipping.

The NFPA and Its Effect on Infrared Thermography and Your Infrared Electrical Inspection Program

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) was established in 1896 by a concerned group of individuals from various insurance agencies, in response to the extensive cost and great number of losses due to fires in that era.

One of the main causes of industrial fires and losses, as well personal injury accidents, over the last five decades is related to electricity. This has caused the NFPA to increase its number of electrically related documents. The first electrically related document published was NFPA 70, which was published in 1987. It has been updated every 3-5 years since then. This document is also known as the National Electric Code (NEC). The NEC is approved as an American national standard by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It is formally identified as ANSI/NFPA 70. This document is the accepted standard for the installation of all electrical wiring and electrical equipment. It details the requirements for safe electrical installations into a single, standardized source. The 2011 NEC is the current edition (effective date August 25, 2010).
