Introduction
What is Machine Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnostics? basically it is a maintenance tool also being applied in quality control, and process control, process monitoring

Introduction
ISO definition: a field of technical activity in which selected physical parameters, associated with machinery operation, are observed for the purpose of determining machinery integrity not just vibration based

Introduction
Also includes: oil analysis (oil quality, contamination) wear particle monitoring and analysis force sound pressure (intensity) temperature output (machine performance) product quality odour visual inspection and others

Machinery Failure
To place Machine Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnostics in context with the larger plant maintenance picture: Most machinery is required to operate within a close set of limits. operating speed (not variable speed machines) load (throughput) product quality standards Occasionally machinery is required to operate outside these limits for short times (electric generators).

Machinery Failure
The main reason for employing a Machine Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnostics program is to find accurate, quantitative information on the present condition of the machinery. reasonable expectation of machine performance will a machine stand a required overload? should equipment be serviced now or later? what is the expected time to failure? what is the expected failure mode?

Machinery Failure
Machinery failure is the inability of the machine to perform its required function. Failure is machinery specific. Examples: conveyor belt drive-end pulley bearings failure = seized bearing (belt stops) computer disk drive failure = slow response, noisy

Machinery Failure
Other considerations which may dictate machine performance: economics (obsolescence - run to failure) safety (minimize risk of failure trains, planes).

Causes of Failures
design deficiencies material deficiencies processing deficiencies improper assembly practices improper service conditions inappropriate maintenance excessive demands

Types of Failure
Catastrophic - sudden and complete. Incipient - partial, usually gradual. In most cases there is some advanced warning of the onset of failure. All failures pass through an incipient phase even if they do so quickly.

Wear In Failures
Typically high frequency of failures early in the expected life of a machine due to: design errors manufacturing defects assembly mistakes installation problems commissioning errors
September 4, 2008
Page 16
Typically occur during the majority of the life of a machine. Relatively low failure rate when operating within design specifications.

This curve shape is generally true for individual machines and populations of machines of the same type.

MCMAD Philosophy
Get useful information on the condition of equipment to the people who need it. - operators, maintenance, managers, etc. - these groups need different information at different time This means: - collect useful data - change data into information in a form required by and useful to others - timely reporting
September 4, 2008 Page 39
MCMAD Philosophy
Types of data collected: - vibration severity, frequency analysis, temperature, oil analysis, etc. Types of information gleaned: - existing condition - trends - expected time to failure at a given load - type of fault existing or developing - type of fault which caused failure

MCMAD Tasks
Diagnosis recognising the type of fault developing (different fault types may be more or less serious and require different action) severity of fault

MCMAD Tasks
Prescription (activity dictated by information collected) may be applied at any stage alter operating conditions alter monitoring strategy (frequency, type) redesign process or equipment

MCMAD Strategies
How much data to collect? How much time to spend at data analysis? These things dictate the MCMAD strategy (cost will always be a factor) Consider: equipment class, size, importance within process, replacement cost and availability safety different pieces of equipment or processes may require different monitoring strategies.
September 4, 2008 Page 47
MCMAD Strategies
No Monitoring inexpensive, non-critical equipment in stock equipment (or readily accessible) low load equipment low failure rate known failure modes well understood
September 4, 2008
Page 48
MCMAD Strategies
Periodic Monitoring non-critical equipment failure modes known historically dependable equipment trending and severity levels checks only problems trigger more rigorous investigations

Page 49
MCMAD Strategies
Continuous Monitoring permanently installed monitoring system samples and analyses data automatically critical equipment (expensive to replace with downtime (loss of production) being expensive) changes in condition trigger more detailed investigation or possibly automatic shutdown

What to Measure
vibration levels (displacement, velocity, acceleration). oil analysis (lubricating quality contamination) wear particle monitoring and analysis (number, size, shape, composition) force measurements sound level odour temperature output quantity product quality visual inspection, etc.
