INTRODUCION:
The phrase “rotating equipment” refers to mechanical elements that move fluids and other process materials utilizing kinetic energy. Examples of rotating machinery include pumps, compressors, turbines, etc. What does the term “predictive maintenance” mean in this situation? Predictive maintenance is the process of evaluating the health and operation of a machine while it is in use in order to determine when maintenance is necessary.
The factors and forms of examination that make up effective predictive maintenance include things like vibrations, shocks, acoustic emissions, wear debris in oils, etc. Vibration analysis is used to find irregularities in the expected vibrations from a machine in order to find damage or potential future harm.
