BASICS OF VIBRATION
 VIBRATION
CHARACTERISTICS OF VIBRATION SIGNAL

 AMPLITUDE

 FREQUENCY

 PHASE

 ORBIT
 TYPES OF VIBRATION PICK UP
 PROXIMITY PROBE

 VELOCITY PICK UP

 ACCELEROMETER
 CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF VARIOUS
TYPES OF VIBRATION PICK UP
PROXIMITY PROBE
 SHAFT VIBRATION MEASUREMENT

 KEY PHASER MARKER

 SHAFT CENTRE LINE POSITION

 BEST SUITED FOR 1 TO 500 HZ

VELOCITY PICK UP
 FOR BEARING AND STRUCTURAL VIBRATION

 BEST SUITED FOR 10 TO 1000 HZ

 CRITERIA FOR SELECTION OF VARIOUS
TYPES OF VIBRATION PICK UP
ACCELEROMETER
 FOR HIGH FREQUENCY RANGE

 BEST SUITED FOR 1000 HZ ONWARDS

 UNITS OF VIBRATION
(A) DISPLACEMENT
 MICRONS, PEAK TO PEAK
 MICRONS, 0 TO PEAK
 MICRONS, RMS

(B) VELOCITY
 MM/SEC, 0 TO PEAK
 MM/SEC, RMS

(C)ACCELERATION
 M/SEC2, PEAK
 M/SEC2, RMS
 G, PEAK
 G, RMS
 UNITS OF VIBRATION

RMS 0 - Peak
Average

Peak - Peak

RMS = 0.707 x (0-Peak)

Average = 0.637 x (0-Peak)
Peak to Peak = 2 x (0-Peak)

 INSTRUMENTS FOR VIBRATION
MEASUREMENT
 VIBROMETER

 VIBRATION ANALYSER

 FFT ANALYSER
 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
 KNOW YOUR MACHINES

 KNOWLEDGE OF BEHAVIOUR FOR SIMILAR TYPE OF MACHINES

 VIBRATION PRONE AREAS

 INFLUENCE OF PARTICULAR OPERATING PARAMETER

INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS ON VIBRATION

 ISO 10816 BEARING VIBRATION

 ISO 7919 SHAFT VIBRATION

THERE ARE THREE LIMITS IN INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS

 LIMITS FOR NEW MACHINES

 ALARM LIMITS

 TRIP LIMITS
