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

September 4, 2008

Page 5

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).
September 4, 2008 Page 8

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?
September 4, 2008 Page 9

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.

The goal of Machine Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnostics is to:


detect onset of equipment deterioration diagnose the condition trend its progression over time prognose (predict) when ultimate failure will occur allow time for maintenance planning This excludes failures caused by unforeseen and uncontrollable outside forces - earthquakes, etc.

Frequency of Failure
Bath-tub Curve (individual machine or population of machines)
Wear In Failure Rate Normal Wear Wear Out

Time In Service
September 4, 2008 Page 15

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

Normal Wear (Random Failures)

Typically occur during the majority of the life of a machine. Relatively low failure rate when operating within design specifications.

September 4, 2008

Page 17

Wear Out Failures


Occur towards the end of a machines design life. Gradually increasing failure rate at the expected end of a machines useful life - primarily due to: fatigue wear mechanisms corrosion obsolescence

September 4, 2008

Page 18

Wear Out Failures


The slope of the wear-out part of the bath-tubcurve is machine and operational history dependent.
If the machine design is such that the operational life ends abruptly (due to fatigue for example) or the machine is under designed to meet the load expected or the machine has endured a severe operational life (experienced numerous over-loads) the slope of the curve in the wearout section will increase sharply with time. If the machinery is over designed or experiences a relatively light loading history the slope of this part of the bath-tub-curve will increase only gradually with time.

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

Basic Maintenance Strategies


Condition Based Maintenance Note: margin between duty and capacity is never allowed to reach zero - breakdown avoidance. Results: longer time between maintenance tasks than for scheduled maintenance.

Basic Maintenance Strategies


Advantages and disadvantages do exist. Situations exist where one or the other would be appropriate. The maintenance engineer must decide and justify action. Combinations of strategies may also be required. Examples: - increased frequency of monitoring as the age of a machine increases - maximum time between overhauls with monitoring looking for random failures
September 4, 2008 Page 28

Basic Maintenance Strategies


Philosophy: Fix it when it breaks

Reactive

Benefit: Zero initial investment

Cost: Costly catastrophic breakdowns

Philosophy: Change it out every ____ hours

Scheduled

Benefit: Reduced catastrophic breakdowns

Cost: Premature work

Philosophy: Does it need to be fixed?

Condition Based (CBM)

Benefit: Maintenance done when needed

Cost: Requires effective use of information Upfront cost

Factors which Influence Maintenance Strategy


classification of machine - critical to production? - high cost of replacement? - long lead time for replacement? manufacturers recommendations failure data (history), MTTF, MTBF, failure modes redundancy safety (plant personnel, community, environment) parts cost/availability costs (personnel, administrative, equipment) running costs
September 4, 2008 Page 30

Factors which Influence Maintenance Strategy


In general the following rules apply. Breakdown Maintenance if equipment is redundant low cost spares available interruptible process, stockpiled product safe failure modes long MTTF/MTBF low cost secondary damage quick repair or replacement (low cost of interruption to production)
September 4, 2008 Page 31

Factors which Influence Maintenance Strategy


In general the following rules apply. Preventive Maintenance statistical failure rate available narrow failure distribution (predictable MTBF) maintenance restores full integrity single failure mode (known) low cost of regular overhaul/replacement unexpected interruptions to production expensive (scheduled interruptions not so bad) low cost spares available reduced number of breakdowns required costly secondary damage from failure
September 4, 2008 Page 32

Factors which Influence Maintenance Strategy


In general the following rules apply. Condition Based Maintenance expensive/critical machinery long lead time for replacement (no spares) uninterruptable process (both regular and unexpected) - costly large/complex machinery overhaul expensive/needs highly trained people reduced numbers of highly skilled maintenance people
September 4, 2008 Page 33

Factors which Influence Maintenance Strategy


In general the following rules apply. Condition Based Maintenance (contd) costs of monitoring program acceptable. safety is a priority (failures dangerous) remote, mobile equipment failure not indicated by operation degeneration costly secondary damage.

Machine Condition Monitoring and Fault Diagnostics


Potential disadvantages monitoring equipment costs (high) operational costs (running the program) skilled personnel needed needs strong management commitment long run-in time to collect machine histories and set trends reduced costs are harder to sell as direct benefits to management than increased profits

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

Page 46

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

MCMAD Strategies
Periodic Monitoring non-critical equipment failure modes known historically dependable equipment trending and severity levels checks only problems trigger more rigorous investigations

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
