Karamay Petrochemical Uses Handheld Vibration Analyzer To Ensure The Safe Operation Of Equipment

From China Petroleum network news (reporter Song Peng and correspondent Yang Ling and Wang Xiaoyang) On January 8, Li Yuxia, an employee of dynamic monitoring class of fitter in inspection and maintenance center of Karamay Petrochemical Company, detected damage to the bearing of a water pump in the hydroprocessing unit during inspection. Li Yuxia said, can accurately determine the machine pump fault site, rely on this new instrument. If you rely on work experience, this early hidden danger of equipment is difficult to detect.

The new instrument that Li praised was the mechanical State Analyzer (VIB07). This detector sets vibration, temperature detection, bearing condition analysis and other functions in one. The staff of the inspection team only need to adsorb the instrument sensor on the monitoring point of the equipment, and then quickly collect the required data and store it. After the inspection, the staff conducts spectrum analysis on the data through the equipped instrument software to further determine the operating status of the equipment and possible fault causes.

In the past, the dynamic monitoring staff had to record the pump parameters while inspecting the machine on site. The combination of "old three pieces" testing tools, such as vibration meter, temperature meter and stethoscope, and the work experience of five-word operation method of "hearing, seeing, testing and diagnosis" has become the "magic weapon" for fitter dynamic monitoring staff to find equipment faults.

Fitter technician Duan Zhongbao introduced that some machine pump failures are difficult to find in the early stage with experience, and some symptoms may not appear until the later stage of operation. If these potential equipment hidden dangers are found not handled in time, it will bring hidden dangers to the normal operation of the device.

Now, the use of mechanical state analyzers allows these "pump doctors" to feel the pulse more accurately for possible problems. "It was difficult to determine the specific fault location when I heard the pump noise before. Now with this instrument, the bearing damage, rotor imbalance, or coupling misalignment caused by equipment failure, can be judged more accurately." "Duan Zhongbao said.

This kind of predictive equipment running status detection, so that the dynamic testing class staff feel the use of new equipment, new technology to bring benefits and convenience. Duan Zhongbao said, the use of mechanical state analyzer, changed not only make the inspection way, more important is the monitoring of running status of equipment, the maintenance work change from passive to active, from emergency maintenance to maintenance plan, and more than 40 sets of production equipment for the plant more than 3000 sets of machine pump, drum induced draft fan and so on provides the guarantee the safe operation of the equipment.
