This guideline contains recommendations for installing Bently Nevada transducers and monitoring systems on reciprocating compressors. These recommendations apply to both new machines and to existing…
The design philosophy for most reciprocating machines is to minimize the unbalanced inertial and pressure forces and to absorb the remainder of the energy…
Valve Temperature Monitoring using 3300/75 Reciprocating Compressor Valve Temperature Monitors, Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs) and Transducer Interface Modules (TIMs) Suction and discharge valves are…
, Proximity Transducers and a Keyphasor® transducer Horizontal reciprocating compressors usually have rider bands to minimize wear of the piston rings and to eliminate…
High Temperature Monitoring using 3300/30 or 3300/35 6-channel Temperature Monitors or 3300/36 2-channel Temperature Monitors There are additional temperature measurements that should be continuously…
LONGITUDINAL MAGNETIZATION TYPES Electrical current can be used to create a longitudinal magnetic field in magnetic materials. When electric current is passed through a…
Circular magnetization is a non-destructive testing technique commonly used to detect surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials. It involves inducing a magnetic field…
Any factor that affects the formation of indications at a discontinuity affects the sensitivity of magnetic particle testing. Two of the most important of…
WHAT IS CIRCULAR MAGNETIZATION Circular magnetization is used for the detection of radial discontinuities around edges of holes or openings in test objects. It…
