Meaningful Vibration Data Analysis
• Lots of tools and techniques available.• Sometimes can be a bit intimidating and
burdensome.• Need to take away some of the mystery.• Make the best of the situation.• Examine scientific terminology and industry
jargon.

Getting Down to Basics
• Vibration is a leading indicator of machinery health.• Accelerometer is like a doctor’s stethoscope.• Capture the raw data.• Convert to a “signature” for comparison.• Know the equipment make-up.• Watch for patterns, amplitudes, and changes over
time.(Interpret information relative to PF curve)
![Page 4: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Predictive Maintenance (PdM)(an evolution from Breakdown to Preventive)
• 4 Key Elements to the process:– Detection– Analysis– Correction– Verification
• Pinpoint a problem, get to the root cause, take action,and verify effectiveness.
![Page 5: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DETECTION
• Capture details on equipment and application.• Choose the right sensor.• Set up the right measurement parameters.• Obtain good, solid data – also, repeatable.
![Page 6: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
ANALYSIS
• Examine trends, changes, patterns, andamplitudes. (The “Signature”.)
• Compare to known acceptable standards orbaselines.
(Note: Signature, Spectrum, and FFT (FastFourier Transform) are used synonymously.)

CORRECTION
• Take actions against offending vibrationlevels:Balancing.Alignment.Replacing defective bearings.Tying down loose components.Avoiding resonance.
The BIG 5!
![Page 8: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
VERIFICATION
• Perform a “Before and After” assessment.• Did the follow-up action make the situation
better?• If the problem has been addressed, set a new
measurement baseline for the future.
![Page 9: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Primary Goals of the PdM Program
• Ensure convenient rework.• Avoid panic.• Avoid secondary damage.• Promote safety.• Reduce repair time.• Avoid any unnecessary downtime.
![Page 10: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
12 Steps for Success• Survey the plant in terms of critical, essential, balance of plant
categories.• Choose the machines to put into the program.• Optimize measurements in terms of parameters and timing.• Choose the method and educate participants.• Set criteria (alarms) for assessment.• Baseline the machine under consideration.• thru 10, Setup, Measure, Store, Present (detection).• Problem assessment (analysis).• Correct the fault (correction).
(After step 12, the process can be re-entered at step 6.)
![Page 11: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Establishing the Program
• Put equipment into categories of “critical”,“essential”, and “balance of plant”.
• Start with the critical machinery.• Get into the physical make-up of the
equipment and the application.• Decide the kinds of measurements and sensors
to be used.• Look for vibration presence, patterns, and
severity.
![Page 12: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Vibration measurement
• Choose the best location.• Choose the proper sensor.• Make the proper placement – firm mounting and
direction. (similar to sensitive directionalmicrophone).
• Measure in several axes.• Set measurement parameters to get “tell-tale” data.• Set alarm limits for proper assessment. (typically
“warning”, “alert”, and “danger”).
![Page 13: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Other Key Considerations …
• Know the make-up of the machine in terms ofbearings, gearbox, pulleys, couplings, coolingfans (# of blades) and pumps (# of impellorblades).
• Know the 1X (i.e., running speed) of themachine being measured.
• Know the relative phase readings on keypositions of the machine. (This will showrelative motion.)
![Page 14: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Key Measurement Parameters
• Time or frequency data to be captured.• Sample time.• Number of samples.• Number of averages.• Frequency range.• Frequency resolution.
![Page 15: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Data Interpretation
• Examining presence, patterns, and severitywill lead to correction.
• There are typically 5 main causes for thevibration:– Unbalance.– Misalignment.– Bearing defects.– Looseness.– Resonance.
![Page 16: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Getting Good Data• Avoid the GIGO (garbage in, garbage out) principle.• Make certain to have a good sensor, cabling, and
connections.• Ensure proper (solid) mounting (no rocking).• Set up instrument parameters to get the right
measurements.• Make sure that the equipment is running.• Be sure that it is the right location.• Recognize “bad” data before moving on.• Utilize auxiliary tools available to build confidence in the
assessment. (Examples here include bump tests,coastdown, cross-channel phase, and demodulation.)
![Page 17: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Measurement Considerations• Right place, right time.• Minimize outside influences.• Time or frequency?• Frequency band, Fmin and Fmax.• Resolution.• Windowing.• Sampling time.• Number of samples.• Number of averages• Accompanying speed and phase information?• Additional simultaneous channel?
![Page 18: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Measurement Relationships• Highest frequency (Fmax)
Fmax (Hz) = # of samples / (2.56 * sample time)(corollary: sample time = # lines of resolution / Fmax (Hz))
• Lines of resolution# Lines = samples / 2.56(corollary: samples = 2.56 * # lines)
• Time for collectionTime = (# averages * # lines) / Fmax (in Hz)
• Frequency resolutionResolution = Fmax / # lines
(Keep in mind the specifications for the sensor andinstrumentation.)

Measurement Considerations
• Shannon (Nyquist) Sampling Theorem: Sampledsignal can be completely reproduced if samplingfrequency is at least twice the highest frequencycontent. (We use the factor 2.56 in digitizing.)
• Any attempt to do less results in “aliasing”.• There is an inverse relationship between time sample
and highest frequency content.• More samples, less time results in higher frequency.
![Page 20: Key Setup Parameters - Vibration 2008/Key Setup Parameters.pdf• Vibration is a primary measurement for an effective PdM program. • Education and experience in the technology and](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022011723/5aa4870f7f8b9ae7438c3884/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Digital Sampling… Example
Two very different signals with same sampling.
The more samples, the better reconstruction.
2.56X is a nice sampling factor in digitizing.

Further considerations
• Product(s) specifications and limitations.• Measurement capture.• Measurement processing.• Measurement unit (acceleration, velocity,
displacement).• Measurement scaling (rms, average, peak, pk-
pk).

Overlapping Averages
Overlap processing shortens the acquisition time by recovering aportion of each previous frame that otherwise is lost due to theeffect of the FFT window,
