Condition Monitoring
Condition monitoring is a process of determining the
condition or Healthiness of rotating or static equipments.

What is 80:20 Rule ?
Also known as "Pareto's Principle" after the Italian
sociologist and economist Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923).
The Pareto Principle states that a small number of
causes is responsible for a large percentage of the
effect, often a ratio of approximately 20:80.
In the case of machinery management, it is often
found that a large percentage (80%) of a plant's
problems are caused by a relatively small
population (20%) of its machines.

Thermography
Infrared Thermography is simply a picture of infrared
radiation(Thermal Image).
An infrared device contains one or more detectors
that convert energy in the infrared spectrum into an
electrical signal.
Electrical signal are typically formatted into video
signal and displayed on CRT after analysis of
thermal information from non contact thermal
imaging devices.
All electrical components have a tendency to heat
up as their physical or electrical properties worsens.
An infrared camera is designed to detect this
overheating and interpret it as early warning sign of
imminent failures this is non contact technique.
8
Wear Debris Analysis
Wear Debris monitoring methodology aims at predicting the
upcoming failures of component.
Wear Debris analysis comprises of two parts. One relates
degradation of the lubricant & other is machine condition in
which that lubricant is in use.
Ferroscope ( a three- magnification dichromatic microscope)
is being used to identify and examine the wear particles
separated from all type of fluids.
There are six basics wear particle types generated through
the wear process e.g.
Normal rubbing wear (up to 5 )- Generate due to normal wear
Cutting particles (25 to 100)- Generate due to surface penetration
Spherical particles( 5 to 15)- Generate due to rolling fatigue.
Severe Sliding Particles ( 5 to 30)- Generates due to striations.
Bearing wear particles(Up to 100)- Distinct particles of bearing.
Gear Wear particles Pitch line fatigue particles from gear pitch.
9
Acoustic Analysis
Acoustic Emission (AE) analysis is a useful method for the
investigation of local damage in materials. One of the
advantages compared to other NDE techniques is the
possibility to observe damage processes during the entire
load history without any disturbance to the specimen.
Acoustic Emission (AE) is the class of phenomena
whereby an elastic wave, in the range of ultrasound
usually between 20 KHz and 1 MHz, is generated by the
rapid release of energy from the source within a material
The elastic wave propagates through the solid to the
surface and can be recorded through sensor. Sensors is a
transducer that converts the mechanical wave into an
electrical signal.
10
Dissolve Gas Analysis
Generally Thermal & Electrical disturbance produce
gases in an operating Transformer due to overheating or
dielectric problems or a combination of these.
Internal faults in oil produce the gaseous byproducts.
Each types of faults produce certain combustible gases.
The thermal decomposition of mineral oil from 150 to 500C
H2, CH4 and thermal decomposition of cellulose and other
solid insulation produces CO & C02 .
Electrical Faults such as Partial Discharge produce H2, CH4
& C2H2 & High Intensity Arcing produce temperature from
700 to 1800C, the quantity of Acetylene becomes pronounced.
The total of all combustible gases may indicate the existence of
any one, or a combination of thermal, electrical or corona faults.

Machinery Condition Management System
A system that takes the data generated by a machinery data management
system and converts it into actionable information .
Machinery condition management systems are software products that
employ "expert system" technology consisting of knowledge bases, rule
sets, and other tools.
A proper machinery condition management system is able to continually
review the data fed to it by the machinery data management system rather
than waiting for alarms or other "events" to trigger it.
It can be used as a prognostic tool. When an "event" does occur, such as
an alarm, the machinery condition management system will also be able to
provide diagnostic information.

What is vibration ?
Vibration measurement is an oldest technique for machine
Health Monitoring.
17
What is vibration ?
Free Vibration
Vibration response of a mechanical system following an impulse
like initial perturbation (change of position, velocity or external
force).Depending on the kind of perturbation, the mechanical
system responds with free vibrations at one or more of its natural
frequencies.
Forced Vibration
The response vibration of a mechanical system due to a forcing
function (exciting force). Typically, forced vibration has the same
frequency as that of the exciting force.
18
Characteristics of Vibration
One of the common & oldest condition monitoring technique is
vibration monitoring.
Machine's condition and mechanical problems are determined
by measuring its vibration characteristics.
The Cause of vibration, regardless of the type must be
FORCE which is changing in either its direction or its amount.
Each Cause of vibration has its own individual characteristic.
The important characteristics are,

Vibration Frequency
The amount of time required to Complete one cycle ( 360 )
of a Vibration pattern ( Sine Wave) is called the period of
Vibration.
Vibration frequency is typically expressed in units of cycles
per second (Hertz) or cycles per minute (to more easily relate
to shaft rotative speed frequency).
A Frequency = 1/ Period.
M One Cycle
P Time
L
22
Vibration Frequency
1X is a vibration with a frequency equal to shaft rpm, 2X
vibration is at twice shaft rpm, 0.5X vibration with a
frequency equal to one-half shaft rpm, etc.
Frequency of the vibration precession, ,of a rotor measured
in Hz, rad/s (circular frequency) or cpm is often related to
the rotative speed , measured in rpm or rad/s.
Natural Frequency
The frequency of free vibration of a mechanical system at
which a specific natural mode of the system elements
assumes its maximum amplitude.
23
Vibration Displacement
Total distance traveled by the vibrating part from one extreme
limit of travel to other extreme limit of travel is referred to as
peak-to-peak displacement.
Peak to Peak Displacement is usually expressed in microns
( ), where 1 microns ( ) is one thousand of millimeter
( 0.001 mm)
Displacement is more sensitive to low frequency vibration and
is best for measurement where stress related problem is
predominant.( < 600 CPM).
24
Vibration Velocity
Velocityis the time rate of change of displacement.
Typical units for velocity is millimeters / second(zero to peak).
25
Vibration Acceleration
Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.
Typical units for Acceleration is millimeters / second
(zero to peak).
Acceleration unit is g , Where 1g = 980.665 cm/ sec.

Cause of Vibration
The occurrence of vibration is wide- spread.
Vibration is the result of any minor fault that are the natural
consequences of manufacturing and material limitations.
Mechanical troubles in a machine cause vibration.
Some of the common causes of vibration are as follows.
I. Unbalance
2. Mis- Alignment.
3. Mechanical Looseness.
5. Resonance

Which parameter is more Important ?
Generally all the rotating machine are mounted with either
Journal Bearing or Anti-Friction Bearing.
Lighter weight( medium size) rotating machinery generally
mounted with Anti- Friction bearing.
Machine mounted with Anti- Friction bearing, Shaft Vibration due
to Shaft deflection is almost same as compared to Casing
vibration.
Machine mounted with Journal Bearing, Shaft Vibration due to
Shaft deflection is much more higher than Casing vibration
because casing weight is much more higher than rotor.

Unbalance
Unbalance can be categorized in three type.
Force Unbalance :
Force Unbalance is a condition where the mass center line
is displaced from shaft center line.
Amplitude due to unbalance will increases by the squire of
speed ( 2x speed increases = 9x higher vibration).
It is also known as Static Unbalance.
Horizontal to Horizontal & Vertical to Vertical Phase
difference will be 0 between inboard & outboard bearing
of the same shaft.
Unbalance can be corrected by placement of only one
37
balance weight in one plane at rotor center of gravity.
Unbalance
Couple Unbalance :
Couple Unbalance is a condition where the mass centerline
axis intersects the shaft centerline axis at the rotors center
of Gravity.
Horizontal to Horizontal & Vertical to Vertical Phase
difference will be 180 between inboard & outboard
bearing of same shaft.
Unbalance can be corrected by placement of
balance weight in at least two planes at rotor center of
gravity.
38
Unbalance
Dynamic Unbalance
Dynamic Unbalance is a condition where the mass
centerline is neither parallel to nor intersects the shaft
centerline axis.
It is combination of both force and couple unbalance.
Horizontal to Horizontal & Vertical to Vertical Phase
difference will be 180 between inboard & outboard
bearing of same shaft.
Unbalance can be corrected by placement of balance
weight in at least two planes at rotor center of gravity.

Mis- Alignment
Misalignment occurs when the axes of adjacent shaft are
not collinear when operating under normal load.
The most common type of Mis-alignment trouble is
attributed to faulty initial alignment.
The vibration frequency at 1xRPM, 2xRPM and 3xRPM if
the mis-alignment is severe.
In general the amplitude of axial direction is greater than
one half of the highest radial reading.
Vibration amplitudes will be high in axial direction as well
as in radial direction. Phase difference across the coupling
is in between 90 to 180. 43
Mis- Alignment
Mis- alignment can be categorized in three basis types are
Angular, Off-set, and combination of Angular & Off-set,
Angular mis-alignment :
Angular mis-alignment generate high axial vibration.
Pre-dominant Vibration peaks at 1x RPM & 2x RPM.
Phase difference is 180 across the coupling in axial
direction.
These symptoms may also indicate coupling problem.
44
Mis- Alignment
Mis- alignment can be categorized in three basis types are
Angular, Off-set, and combination of Angular & Off-set,
Off-set Mis-alignment :
Off-set mis-alignment also known as parallel
mis-alignment as radial off-set misalignment.
Pre-dominant Vibration peaks at 2x RPM 50% high of 1X.
High amplitude in radial direction.
Phase difference is 180 across the coupling in radial
direction.

Mechanical Looseness
Mechanical looseness is common problem in any industry.
It can be categorized in A B C type Mech. Looseness.
A type mechanical looseness is due to structural
looseness/ weakness of machine feet, baseplate or
foundation, deteriorated grouting, loose hold down bolts
at the base and distortion of the frame or base.
Phase difference is 180 between vertical measurement on
the machine foot, baseplate and base itself.
Generally Pre-dominant Vibration peaks at 1x RPM.
50
Mechanical Looseness
B type mechanical looseness is due to loose pillowblock
bolts, cracks in the frame structure or bearing pedestal.
Phase difference is 180 between vertical measurement on
the machine foot, baseplate and base itself.
Generally Pre-dominant Vibration peaks at 2x RPM & 0.5x,
1x, 3x also present in spectrum.
