CONDITION MONITORING AND MACHINERY PROTECTION

CONDITION MONITORING BASED MAINTENANCE IS ADOPTED IN CONJUCTION WITH MINIMUM PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. OPPORTUNITY MAINTENANCE IS ALSO ADOPTED SELECTIVELY

CONDITION MONITORING

“CONITNUOUS MONITORING OF EQUIPMENT HEALTH AND CARRYING REMEDIAL MEASURES BASED ON SYMPTOMS AND DIGNOSTICS.”

WHAT TO BE MONITORED?

PARAMETERS REQUIRED TO BE MONITORED ARE DIVIDED IN TWO CATEGORIES NAMELY:

MECHANICAL & PROCESS PARAMETERS

➢ MECHANICAL PARAMETERS

• VIBRATION
• AXIAL POSITON OF ROTOR
• BEARING TEMPERATURE
• LUBE OIL CONDITION & TEMPERATURE
