Field Service Featured Capabilities
Using the correct tools and expertise to diagnose common pump system issues
Trending Data: Capture vibration, flow, pressure, speed and more
Continuously and simultaneously record 24 analog inputs to visualize data, including time and frequency domain analysis. Capture transient events like start-up, shut-down, or valve closures.
Trending data can help identify system-related operational deficiencies without dismantling machinery. Seeing all the data points in the same wave chart can help us spot anomalies and diagnose an issue more efficiently. From here, we can optimize the operation of your equipment.
Operating Deflection Shape (ODS): Measure system vibration while running
Our software has tools for measuring and analyzing time ODS covering SISO, SIMO, MISO, and MIMO. This allows us to see how your system's actual vibration forcing functions and corresponding dynamic behavior during operation.
From here, we can shape the estimation of equipment, foundation, and piping to identify the root cause of an issue. The ability to diagnose the movement of your system allows us to determine quick and focused solutions to reduce vibration.
Motion Amplification Video (MAV): Amplified high-speed video
Utilize software to visually amplify high-speed camera video and see your system in action. This tool is faster to set up and measure than ODS, but it takes longer to get results back. This tool requires line of sight and good lighting and has a lower frequency range than ODS.
This is a great visualization tool for seeing the equipment in action. We can correlate identified operating frequencies with visual motion and pinpoint areas of focus for remediation.
