      Misalignment left uncorrected can have damaging effects on machine components. Misalignment will reduce coupling life, bearing life and overall motor health. It can be a bit confusing when trying to identify misalignment using vibration analysis because the vibration response is often dictated by the mechanical configuration of each machine. Therefore,...

      While corporate asset management (CAM) has been a hot topic for the past decade, the demands of the transformational requirements (culturally, technologically, procedurally and philosophically), compounded with the time it takes to achieve them, often mask or even prohibit the visibility of bottom line financial benefits. In this paper, you'll...

      The current accepted method for determining fuel dilution in motor oils is gas chromatography. Although workable, it is not practical from the standpoint of obtaining timely, real-time data. A dynamic in-line FTIR monitoring system has been designed and used to continuously monitor fuel dilution in an engine test-bed. This FTIR...

      This paper explores how a basic lubrication program implemented in the year 2000 progressively moved to pacesetter performance in 2006. Lubrication is the bloodline of rotating equipment. Through proper handling, contamination control, personnel education, and testing, there is great potential for increased equipment reliability along with reduced costs. The author...

      In the last five to ten years, there?s been a fundamental shift in how companies staff their lubrication programs. Driven in part by the retirement of the baby-boomer generation, companies are starting to examine how they can effectively staff a lubrication department to achieve lubrication best practice. From the classic...

      Electro Hydraulic Control (EHC) systems are a critical hydraulic system used in many steam turbine applications. Due to the high operating pressures and proximity to hot sections, phosphate ester fluids are often used. Phosphate ester fluids are also used in gas turbine applications and hydraulic systems used in steel and...
