Pump, Fan, and Compressor

Vibration

Pumps, fans and compressors can all suffer from the classic fault
conditions such as imbalance, misalignment, bearing faults, and
looseness. However, some faults are unique to these components.

There are many types of pumps in common use, and their vibration
signatures vary over a wide range. When monitoring pump vibration,
it is extremely important that the operating conditions are consistent
from one measurement to the next to assure consistent vibration
patterns. Suction pressure, discharge pressure, and especially air
induction and cavitation will affect the vibration pattern greatly.

Centrifugal pumps always have a prominent vibration component at

the vane pass frequency, which is the number of impeller vanes times
the RPM. If the amplitude increases significantly, it usually means an

internal problem such as erosion of impellers or a flow related

problem. Harmonics of vane pass are also common in such
pumps.

Forces are generated by the pressure variations as a

rotating blade, vane, or lobe passes a stationary housing or
component.

The stationary component creates a non-uniform flow distur-

bance in the fluid or gas.

System Fluid Starvation

Other faults include the impeller loose on the shaft and pump
starvation.

When the impeller is loose on the shaft, there will be vane pass

Preventing faults rather than

just detecting them; the ultimate
challenge for vibration analysts
by Jason Tranter, BE(Hons), CMRP, VA-IV
Founder & CEO of Mobius Institute
Even though a good vibration
Vibration analysts are a rare breed. From vibration readings taken on

they can even tell if there is damage on the inner race of a rolling element
not achieve their full potential. bearing. All of these skills are gained through extensive training and years
of experience in the field.

A successful vibration monitoring program can greatly reduce main-

tenance costs. Downtime can be reduced, secondary damage can be
minimized, labor costs can be reduced, and safety can be improved. If
faults are detected in the earliest stages, the maintenance can be planned
to occur when it is most convenient to the plant.

Even though a good vibration analysis program can achieve consider-

able savings, many do not achieve their full potential. Vibration analysis
programs, and all other condition monitoring programs, are only there to
detect faults that exist within the machine - they do not actually improve
reliability. Sure, if you consider a reduction in catastrophic failures as an
improvement of reliability, then vibration analysis programs do improve reli-
ability. But a true measure of reliability improvement should be a reduction
in the faults that develop in the machines. Vibration analysts shouldnt
detect misalignment that results from poor alignment practices. Vibration
analysts shouldnt detect cavitation. And vibration analysts shouldnt
detect faults in rolling element bearings - unless the bearing has been
installed for a very long time.

While there are a fault conditions that will develop over a long time due
to normal wear and tear, many of the fault conditions develop because
the machine was not operated correctly, installed correctly, lubricated
correctly, aligned correctly, transported correctly, or because it was not
ideally suited to the application. Rotating machinery, and their individual
components, are all too often selected based on price and not reliability.
Lifetime costs are not taken into consideration.

Therefore, to achieve the greatest reduction in maintenance and operating

costs, the vibration analysts job should not be limited to the detection of
fault conditions. The vibration analyst should be involved with reliability
improvement. Lets explore some of the ways that the vibration analyst can
help improve reliability.

VIBRATION MATTERS - AUGUST 2017 THE VIBRATION ANALYSTS NEWSLETTER 4


Initial design and purchasing policies
When a specification is put together for a new piece of equipment,
achieving high reliability should be one of the key goals. The lifetime
costs must be considered ahead of the upfront purchase price.
Experience with similar equipment and the suppliers should be taken
into consideration. Maintainability should be taken into consideration.
The vibration analyst should be consulted when rotating equipment is to
be purchased. If the machine being considered has a history of reliabili-
ty problems then it does not make sense to purchase that same type of
machine again.
In an ideal world, machinery with easy-to-access monitoring points
would be selected, but that really is hoping for too much!
Acceptance testing
There is often an assumption that components, lubricants and the
machines themselves are in perfect condition when they are purchased.
Sadly this is not always the case. Bearings may not be transported
or stored correctly and may suffer from false-brinelling. Lubricants
may not meet cleanliness standards. Rotating machinery may suffer
from resonance and other conditions when operated under normal
conditions. Too often rotating machinery are not designed with energy
efficiency and reliability in mind; instead they are designed with
purchase cost in mind.
Acceptance testing provides a way to test that machines and
components are in good condition before they are installed in the plant.
Acceptance testing puts pressure on the supplier to make sure they are
delivering the highest quality products.
Acceptance testing guidelines can include specifications on a number
of parameters, but from the vibration analysts perspective the key
standard is to set vibration limits that may not be exceeded. Tests may
be performed at the OEMs workshop or after being installed on-site. It
is important the conditions for the test are clearly specified, including
RPM, load, and mounting.
Acceptance testing should not only be performed on new equipment, it
should be performed when repair and overhaul work is performed. This
can include motor rewinds, rotor balancing, and pump rebuilds.
There are a number of ISO standards that provide guidelines for
acceptable vibration limits when equipment is new or overhauled, and
there are a number of specifications in the public domain.

continued
Field-balancing and shaft alignment
Many vibration analysts are involved with field-balancing
and shaft-alignment. Balancing reduces rotating forces
which can damage bearings and the machine structure.
Likewise shaft alignment reduces the stress on bearings,
couplings, and the shaft itself. Even if the vibration analyst
does not perform the shaft alignment or balancing function,
the analyst should take vibration readings before and after
the work to ensure that the job is done correctly.
It is important to set targets when performing shaft
alignment and field balancing. It is not enough to simply
perform the job and assume that because the vibration
levels have been reduced that the job is good enough.
Standards from the ISO, API, and the US Navy are readily
accessible and provide an indication of balance quality. It
is worth pointing out that while the G 6.3 standard is recom-
mended in ISO 1940, G 1.0 should be the target if precision
maintenance is your goal. The equivalent API standard is
G 0.7.
Rotating machinery OEMs will often provide shaft alignment
tolerances, and the laser alignment manufacturers will
also provide guidelines so that a precision alignment can
be performed every time. One standard that should not
be used is the specification provided with certain flexible
couplings. These very loose specifications provide an
indication of what the coupling may survive but they do
not provide an indication of what is best for the long-term
operation of the machine.
Resonance correction
Resonance occurs when a machine generates vibration
at a frequency close to a natural frequency of the rotor
or structure. Resonance greatly amplifies the vibration
amplitude; the high vibration amplitude reduces the life
of the bearings and the machine structure. The vibration
analyst can get involved in two ways.
First the vibration analyst can identify the source of
vibration that is exciting the natural frequency and seek
to reduce that vibration amplitude. For example if there is
unbalance which is exciting the natural frequency then one
solution is to simply balance the machine.
The second way that the vibration analyst can help is to
perform tests that identify the natural frequencies and then
propose modifications to the structure so that the natural
THE VIBRATION ANALYSTS NEWSLETTER 5
 FEATURED ARTICLE continued

frequencies no longer correspond to the frequencies being generated
by the machine. The most common situation is where the running
speed of the machine corresponds with the natural frequency, however
other sources of vibration such as the pump vane rate, blade passing
frequencies and other can also excite natural frequencies. It may be
necessary to increase the stiffness of the structure in order to increase
the natural frequency so that it is no longer excited by the vibration
generated by the machine. There are a number of ways to correct
resonance; however that topic is beyond the scope of this article.
Root cause analysis
Unbalance, misalignment, incorrect belt tension, poor lubrication
practices, incorrect machine operation, and resonance are common
root causes of failures in rotating machinery, however many others
exist. Whenever the vibration analyst detects a fault in the machine, he
or she should always attempt to determine the root cause. Once the
root cause is identified measures should be taken so that root cause
is eliminated. It is clever to be able to detect a bearing defect, but it is
not very clever if the same bearing exhibits the same fault condition just
months later.
fault. Craftspeople, equipment operators, and maintenance
people can be sensitive to suggestions for improvements
in their work. No one likes to have a finger pointed at them
when there is an equipment failure. However, providing
short training sessions that provide information about
best practices and the benefits of improved reliability
are typically accepted with enthusiasm. When people
recognize that improvements to reliability are encouraged
and supported by management, then a persons pride and
desire for safety and plant profitability will normally kick-in
and these initiatives will be strongly supported.
Conclusion
An effective vibration monitoring program will always
be required, even when the best reliability improvement
programs are well-established. Bearings still wear out,
rotors become out of balance, and even the best trained
craftspeople make mistakes. But utilizing vibration analysis
skills to improve reliability should always be the goal of
every vibration analyst.

The vibration analyst will need to determine the most appropriate action
