Introduction of Reciprocating Machinery Analysis
Reciprocating machinery analysis program is an application of combined analyses of critical operating parameters (pressure, temperature, vibration signal, and ultrasonic frequency) on reciprocating equipment for early detection of anomalies, reduction in efficiency, early stage of mechanical failure.
It needs to be performs on regular interval to establish baseline and operating trend. This program helps optimizing performance, preventing costly repair of the equipment, and minimize lost of production opportunity from equipment downtime.
How the technology works
Windrock Portable Analyzer consists of a set of Analyzers, transamitters, probes, sensors, encoders, and timing/strobe light to collect data. The information is analyzed by qualified engineer to generate trend analysis and determine abnormal condition.
