Diagnosing Bearing Failure During Re-Lubrication Tasks w/LUBExpert (Part 1)
Bearing Failure 1 – Failure Discovered w/LUBExpert Confirmed w/Vibration Analysis Reported by Torki Ibrahim MSc, PMP®,MLA I,MLT II,Ultrasound level I & Khaled Almarwany Torki, a lubrication engineer at a cement manufacturer [...]
Greenfield Ethanol Failure Cause Analysis
Continuously Monitored using Vibration & Ultrasound Analysis This BF-9401 Area Pulling Fan plays an integral role in Greenfield Ethanol’s manufacturing process. It is a critical component to their [...]
Conducting Steam Trap Surveys
for Heating Systems in 20th Century Buildings A local private school conducts annual maintenance checks on their steam heating system during the Christmas Holidays when the students all [...]
Compressed air leaks and screw pumps inspection in a Cameroonian power plant
Dibamba Power Development Company is a heavy fuel oil power plant, the first independent power producer in Cameroon. Operating in the power generation sector in Cameroon and part of [...]
Junior Reliability Technician Compares Experiences Using Vibration & Ultrasound
We had the opportunity to sit down with our fellow co-worker Trevor Bruinix this past week. Trevor is one of SDT’s Junior Reliability Technicians. His primary job responsibilities are [...]
Case Study: Diagnosing Bearing Failure w/ LUBExpert Static & Vibration Analysis
Torki works as a senior lubrication engineer at a cement manufacturer. He recently completed his Live Online Level One Ultrasound Certification with SDT Ultrasound Solutions and has since been [...]
Compressed Air Leak Detection – A Dual Challenge for Energy and the Environment
In today’s modern industrial operations, few processes rank higher in terms of importance than compressed air and no process places a higher demand on energy consumption. As a key [...]
Bearing Grease Replenishment: Time VS Condition?
Maintaining plant assets in an optimal state of lubrication is a topic receiving lots of attention. Maintenance and Reliability practitioners dedicate teams to the task but not every organization [...]
What Are the Benefits of an Ultrasound Assisted Lubrication Program?
Ultrasound assisted lubrication of plant assets offers significant benefits that calendar based lubrication cannot. Lubrication serves a primary purpose, which is to create a thin layer of lubricant between rolling [...]
Ultrasound Guided Bearing Lubrication
The insides of a bearing consist of four important components. The inner and outer raceways form a path for the rolling elements to glide on a thin film of lubricant. [...]
Predictive maintenance can significantly increase the service life of steam generating facilities
These predictive operations limit repair costs and reduce the risk of production downtime. In a conventional steam production plant, 5 to 15% of the steam traps fail every year. [...]
