 TIPS FOR MAKING VIBRATION DATA MORE
USEFUL FOR ANALYSIS
LOCATION OF VIBRATION PICK UPS TO BE INDICATED

LOCATION OF PHOTOCELL TO BE INDICATED

DIRECTION OF ROTATION SHOULD BE INDICATED

KEY PHASER MARK ON ROTOR POSITION TO BE INDICATED

AXIAL VIBRATION PHASE LOGGING MUST HAVE DIRECTION

INDICATION

NAME OF VIBRATION ANLAYSER SHOULD BE INDICATED

VIBRATION UNITS TO BE INDICATED

 TIPS FOR MAKING VIBRATION DATA MORE
USEFUL FOR ANALYSIS
WHILE GIVING CONTROL ROOM VALUES, SPECIFY THE
VIBRATION UNITS AND LOCATION OF THE PICKUPS

VIBRATION MUST BE MEASURED BY PORTABLE VIBRATION

METER NEAR CONTROL ROOM PICKUP FOR VARYING THE
CORRECTNESS OF CONTROL ROOM MEASUREMENT

PICK UP SHOULD NOT BE MOUNTED LOOSE

BRACKET FOR EXTERNAL SHAFT VIBRATION PICKUP SHOULD BE

STIFF ENOUGH NOT TO PRODUCE AMPLIFICATION / RESONANCE
 TIPS FOR MAKING VIBRATION DATA MORE
USEFUL FOR ANALYSIS
FOR CORRECT TRENDING OF VIBRATION READINGS, SAME
LOCATION SHOULD BE USED FOR ALL PERIODIC
MEASUREMENTS
 REASONS OF VIBRATION
IF THE MEASUREMENT IS HEALTHY, FOLLOWING MAY BE THE
REASONS OF VIBRATION PROBLEM
UNBALANCE

MISALIGNMENT

LOOSENESS

PIPE PULLS

SHAFT CATENARY / BEARING LOADING

RESONANCE

UNEQUAL FLOW PATH CLEARANCES

RUBBING
 REASONS OF VIBRATION
SHAFT BOW

OIL / STEAM WHIRL

DEVIATED OPERATING PARAMETERS

DEFECTIVE BEARING / ASSEMBLY OF BEARING

VIBRATION TRANSMITTION FROM OTHER SOURCE

GEAR INACCURACIES

CASING DISTORSTION

CAVITATION
 STEPS FOR RESOLVING THE VIBRATION
PROBLEM
ACCURATE MEASUREMENT OF VIBRATION DATA

COLLECTION OF OPERATING PARAMETERS

STUDY OF HISTORY OF VIBRATION BEHAVIOUR / OVERHAULING

REPORTS / RECURRING PROBLEM FACED

INTERACTION WITH O&M PERSONNELS

COLLECTION OF DETAILED VIBRATION BEHAVIOUR AT VARIOUS

CONDITIONS OF OPERATION LIKE NO LOAD RUN, RUN UP, RUN
DOWN, WITH AND WITHOUT EXCITATION, PART AND FULL LOAD
OPERATION ETC.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS TO NARROW DOWN THE REASONS OF

HIGH VIBRATION
 STEPS FOR RESOLVING THE VIBRATION
PROBLEM
FORMULATION OF ACTION PLAN (SHORT TERM / LONG TERM)

IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTION PLAN

RESPONSE OF MACHINE AFTER IMPLEMENTATION OF ACTION

PLAN

FRESH VIBRATION ANALYSIS, IF THE PROBLEM PERSISTS

IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW ACTION PLAN

THE CYCLE OF VIBRATION ANALYSIS AND IMPLEMENTATION

OF ACTION PLAN CONTINUES TILL THE VIBRATION PROBLEM
IS SATISFACTORILY RESOLVED
