The value of integrating process variable monitoring with vibration monitoring-total condition assessment

摘要

With the phenomental increase in the capabilities of reasonably priced microprocessors and recent advances in Machinery Monitoring knowledge, there is a trend toward comprehensive on-line machinery condition assessment. The powerful combination of on-line vibration integrated with process data allows the user an incredible amount of flexibility, not only for maintenance program but for total process monitoring and control. This integration provides a tool that can greatly aid in both Maintenance and Operations in the following areas.
