A Sustainable & Effective Approach to Vibration Analysis

A Sustainable & Effective Approach to Vibration Analysis

The approach to vibration analysis is likely the most varied practice in the industry. This is partially due to the lack of standardization, combined with an explosion of new knowledge and technologies over the last two decades. Guidelines for creating a world-class vibration program will differ immensely depending on the source of information. When designing a new policy or optimizing an existing program, it is vital to have a good understanding of the shortcomings that can be found in almost every network in operation. A lack of buy-in, priority, provability, the uncertainty of diagnostics, false alarms, missed opportunities, time and dedication, improper settings and lack of resources are common reasons for a less than fully successful vibration program. In short, the issue is not one thing that's 100 percent wrong, but rather 100 things that are one percent wrong. At the Chevron Phillips Chemical Company's (CPChem's) Sweeny complex, a small amount of unique improvements made a significant difference in the program's success.

Torsional Fatigue Failure - Identification, Diagnosis and Prevention

by Thomas Brown, P.E.

Torsion fatigue failures occur more frequently than we realize. As a teacher of failure mode identification, it is common to have one or more individuals in every class bring an unusual failure to class that, upon examination, is torsional fatigue. Depending on the particular industry, torsional fatigue is involved in 10 to 25 percent of rotating equipment failures.
