The infographic, in text
From detecting minor faults to preventing costly breakdowns, PdM offers the reliability your operations need.
Vibration Analysis
- What It Does
- Monitors unique vibration signatures of equipment like compressors, pumps, and fans.
- Why It’s Useful
- Detects early issues such as misalignments, unbalanced parts, and bearing wear.
- Impact
- Prevents small issues from becoming costly failures.
Infrared Thermography
- What It Does
- Uses thermal cameras to detect temperature variations on equipment surfaces.
- Why It’s Useful
- Identifies “hot spots” caused by overheating or electrical issues before they escalate.
- Impact
- Reduces fire risks and allows repairs during scheduled downtime.
Ultrasonic Testing
- What It Does
- Analyzes high-frequency sound waves emitted by equipment to locate leaks or faulty components.
- Why It’s Useful
- Particularly effective for finding leaks in compressed air systems and spotting early bearing wear.
- Impact
- Saves energy, extends equipment life, and keeps systems running efficiently.
