The source of machine failure can begin from drawing board to poor maintenance practices and machine operating conditions. Every step of how the machine is fabricated, assembled, installed, and overhauled contributes to the life of the machine. To identify potential problems of machine failure, we…
read moreWear can be caused by the relative motion between two surfaces that are in close contact, causing deformation or removal of the material; this is known as mechanical wear. Wear can also be caused by other sources such as harsh or reactive chemicals, or cavitation.…
read moreMachinery in industrial environments typically generate a lot of noise. Other than being very loud, these noise emissions can sometimes provide clues to the condition of a particular machine. Measuring ultrasonics can be useful in detecting: • Steam and air leaks • Lubrication issues •…
