(CM ) WHAT IS CONDITION MONITORING ?

Condition monitoring


Condition monitoring (CM) is a maintenance approach that predicts machine health and safety through the combination of machine sensor data that measures vibration and other parameters integrated with software.

This approach enables plant maintenance technicians to monitor the health of each individual piece of machinery.

Whenever a change is detected in machine health, enabling your maintenance technicians to immediately assess the situation and determine if corrective action is required.
 

CONDITION MONITORING TECHNOLOGIES:

 

 


 

 

ADVANTAGES OF CONDITION MONITORING:

 

v  Avoid unplanned downtime

v  Minimize downtime for repair / replacement

v  Improved safety

v  Reduce maintenance costs

v  Reduce hidden costs

 

WHY CONDITION MONITORING IS ESSENTIAL:

 

In addition to the productivity of a plant, lifecycle costs are increasingly becoming the focus of attention.

Increasing plant availability is an important topic in all sectors in which machines are used.

Continuous plant monitoring and thus the early detection of impending failures are an appropriate means of minimizing downtimes.

Status-oriented maintenance permits an increase in availability with a simultaneous reduction of lifecycle costs.

 

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL CONDITION MONITORING PROGRAM:

 

1.       Identify the assets and their models

2.      Define and understand the variables

3.     Select monitoring equipment and establish a data collection and storage system

4.     Define and follow a consistent condition assessment and health ranking system

5.      Integrate the condition monitoring system in your existing maintenance strategy

Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT)

Image
 Magnetic Particle Testing    Magnetic Particle Testing (MPT), also known as Magnetic Particle Inspection, i.e. a nondestructive examination (NDE) technique used to detect surface and  subsurface diecounitinuties  in most ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, and some of their alloys. Because it does not necessitate the degree of surface preparation required by other nondestructive test methods, conducting magnetic particle test Is part of ASME SECTION V ARTICLE 7 requires the magnetic particle visible method (color contrast) be evaluated with a minimum light intensity of 100 footcandles on the part surface Advantages of the Magnetic Particle method of Non-Destructive Examination are: It is quick and relatively uncomplicated. It gives immediate indications of defects. It shows surface and near surface defects, and these are the most serious ones as they concentrate stresses. Magnetic Particle Testing (MT), also referred to as Magnetic Particl...
