TIPS FOR MAKING VIBRATION DATA MORE
USEFUL FOR ANALYSIS
LOCATION OF VIBRATION PICK UPS TO BE INDICATED

LOCATION OF PHOTOCELL TO BE INDICATED

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SHOULD BE INDICATED

KEY PHASER MARK ON ROTOR POSITION TO BE INDICATED

AXIAL VIBRATION PHASE LOGGING MUST HAVE DIRECTION
INDICATION

NAME OF VIBRATION ANLAYSER SHOULD BE INDICATED

VIBRATION UNITS TO BE INDICATED
TIPS FOR MAKING VIBRATION DATA MORE
USEFUL FOR ANALYSIS
WHILE GIVING CONTROL ROOM VALUES, SPECIFY THE
VIBRATION UNITS AND LOCATION OF THE PICKUPS

VIBRATION MUST BE MEASURED BY PORTABLE VIBRATION
METER NEAR CONTROL ROOM PICKUP FOR VARYING THE
CORRECTNESS OF CONTROL ROOM MEASUREMENT

PICK UP SHOULD NOT BE MOUNTED LOOSE

BRACKET FOR EXTERNAL SHAFT VIBRATION PICKUP SHOULD BE
STIFF ENOUGH NOT TO PRODUCE AMPLIFICATION / RESONANCE

TIPS FOR MAKING VIBRATION DATA MORE
USEFUL FOR ANALYSIS
FOR CORRECT TRENDING OF VIBRATION READINGS, SAME
LOCATION SHOULD BE USED FOR ALL PERIODIC
MEASUREMENTS
REASONS OF VIBRATION
IF THE MEASUREMENT IS HEALTHY, FOLLOWING MAY BE THE
REASONS OF VIBRATION PROBLEM
UNBALANCE

MISALIGNMENT

LOOSENESS

PIPE PULLS

SHAFT CATENARY / BEARING LOADING

RESONANCE

UNEQUAL FLOW PATH CLEARANCES

RUBBING
REASONS OF VIBRATION
SHAFT BOW

OIL / STEAM WHIRL

DEVIATED OPERATING PARAMETERS

DEFECTIVE BEARING / ASSEMBLY OF BEARING

VIBRATION TRANSMITTION FROM OTHER SOURCE

GEAR INACCURACIES

CASING DISTORSTION

CAVITATION
STEPS FOR RESOLVING THE VIBRATION
PROBLEM
ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF VIBRATION DATA

COLLECTION OF OPERATING PARAMETERS

STUDY OF HISTORY OF VIBRATION BEHAVIOUR / OVERHAULING
REPORTS / RECURRING PROBLEM FACED

INTERACTION WITH O&M PERSONNELS

COLLECTION OF DETAILED VIBRATION BEHAVIOUR AT VARIOUS
CONDITIONS OF OPERATION LIKE NO LOAD RUN, RUN UP, RUN
DOWN, WITH AND WITHOUT EXCITATION, PART AND FULL LOAD
OPERATION ETC.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS TO NARROW DOWN THE REASONS OF
HIGH VIBRATION
STEPS FOR RESOLVING THE VIBRATION
PROBLEM
FORMULATION OF ACTION PLAN (SHORT TERM / LONG TERM)

IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTION PLAN

RESPONSE OF MACHINE AFTER IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTION
PLAN

FRESH VIBRATION ANALYSIS, IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS

IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACTION PLAN

THE CYCLE OF VIBRATION ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION
OF ACTION PLAN CONTINUES TILL THE VIBRATION PROBLEM
IS SATISFACTORILY RESOLVED
KNOW YOUR MACHINES
KNOWLEDGE OF BEHAVIOUR FOR SIMILAR TYPE OF MACHINES

VIBRATION PRONE AREAS

INFLUENCE OF PARTICULAR OPERATING PARAMETER


INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ON VIBRATION
ISO 10816 BEARING VIBRATION

ISO 7919 SHAFT VIBRATION

THERE ARE THREE LIMITS IN INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
LIMITS FOR NEW MACHINES

ALARM LIMITS
