Audible, Visual and Tactile Inspections
for PdM Technicians, Operators and
Maintenance Personnel
Lance Bisinger, Universal Technologies, Inc.
Data collection is the backbone of any vibration monitoring
effort, yet opportunities to gather additional data while at
the machine are typically ignored. Is the vibration industry
finally beginning to feel the effects of the pure data collector
who has not transitioned into the reliability group from the
mechanical trades? What about the site operators and
craftsman? This session covers basic inspection techniques
that can be applied to optimize time spent in the field.
1:30-2:20pm
Principles of Vibration Isolation
Robert J. Sayer, Sayer Inc.
The isolation of vibration of a source piece of equipment
from the surrounding environment is vitally important in critical
applications such as clean rooms. In other cases, equipment
is designed to operate at significant levels of vibration
and the isolation of this energy is critical to the fatigue life
of supporting structures. In yet other cases, the isolation of
vibration from an outside source is paramount to the successful
operation of critical equipment such as electron and
surgical microscopes. In this session, you’ll get an introduction
to the design of isolation systems including numerous
case histories to illustrate each important aspect of design.
2:30-3:20pm
Integrating Static and Dynamic Electric
Motor Testing Into a Predictive
Maintenance Program
Timothy M. Thomas, Baker Instrument Co.
Predictive maintenance programs, (PMPs) are becoming
universally accepted as the best method for maintaining
motor reliability within most modern plants and facilities.
In this session you’ll learn how periodic static testing
and more aggressive dynamic testing of motors can be
used to predict the potential for continued safe and successful
operation. Tracking and trending the results of electric
motor testing on a regular schedule is an effective
method of making intelligent predictions.
4:30-5:20pm
How CM Professionals Are
Using Thermography
John Snell, Snell Infrared
This session takes a look at some of the best uses for
themography for condition monitoring. Case studies will
illustrate the benefits and limitations of the technology and
the discussion will include integration of results with other
CM technologies. You are sure to learn some techniques
that will prove useful at your facilities.
8:00 - 9:50am
How Reliability Helps Drive Our Plants:
Views from the Top
Plenary Panel Discussion.
11:00-11:50am
Influences on Surface Temperature
John Snell, Snell Infrared
Thermographers typically see surfaces only and must
relate the resulting signature to the conditions existing inside
a machine. This presentation discusses the influences
affecting surface temperature using simple demonstrations
and practical discussions.
1:30-2:20pm
The Link between Condition Monitoring
of Bearings and Root Cause Bearing
Failure Analysis
Stuart Courtney, SKF Reliability Systems
In this session you’ll learn to develop a mindset of detecting
and fixing problems and not just detecting failures. Often
we see examples of totally wrecked bearings alongside the
spectral and vibration data that detected the failure. To this
end there must be a multi-stage approach. The vibration
monitoring program must be used to detect the problem at
the earliest opportunity, the maintenance department must
act on that and that may not be to change the bearing, it may
just be a lubrication problem. If the bearing is changed it is
essential that it is changed at the right time and that is the
key, if it is changed too early people say the system is flawed.
If it is changed too late it may damage other components and
also the evidence that can tell us what the problem was may
be destroyed. The aim is to be proactive and not reactive.
2:30-3:20pm
Methods for Increasing the Value of Your
Mechanical Integrity Inspection Program
Rod Reinholdt and John Anderson, QCTL, Inc.
Facilities that maintain processes or materials covered by
OSHA 1910.119 or EPA 40 CFR 68.130 regulatory requirements
implement a process safety management system
program with a mechanical integrity component as is federally
mandated. The result: safer work environments. The
investment in the program can be viewed as an ongoing
operating expense or can create actual cost savings which
annually increases the facilities profit margins. A method for
using existing regulatory compliance programs to develop
an effective stationary equipment inspection program for
critical production components including noncovered pressure
vessels, storage tanks, piping systems, valves, boilers,
etc. will be demonstrated in this session. You’ll hear actual
case studies of facilities that have turned regulatory costs
into maintenance savings.
4:30-5:20pm
Using ISO Standards to Design, Implement and
Manage Condition Monitoring Programs
Leith Hitchcock, PALL Corporation
In this session you’ll hear the processes for system
design and implementation as well as new concepts in the
fields of diagnostics and prognostics. The processes outlined
have direct FMEA links to RCM programs and can be
used to implement CM programs directly linked to RCM
analyses. This session also outlines developments in the
fields of Training and Accreditation including new and
upcoming standards as well as AINDT direction. New standards
discussed are: ISO 17359, Condition monitoring and
diagnostics of machines - General guidelines ISO 13373,
Mechanical vibration and shock - Vibration condition monitoring
of machines ISO 13379, Data interpretation and diagnostic
technique. ISO 13381, Condition monitoring and diagnostics
of machines - Prognostics ISO 18436 Part II,
Accreditation of organizations and training and certification
of personnel - Part II: General requirements for training and
certification - Vibration Analysis ISO 18436 Sub Parts under
development for Oil Analysis and Thermal Imaging.
8:00-8:50am
Continuous Stress Wave Monitoring
for Failure Progression Analysis
William T. Shaw, Swantech
Failure of a bearing or other mechanical component within
a machine is usually a process that occurs over a time
span ranging from days or weeks to even months.
Unfortunately we don’t often become aware of the failure
process until it has progressed to the point of generating
metal particles in the lubricant or abnormal vibrations or
even a temperature rise. By that point the machine is entering
its latter phase of the overall failure process and it may
be too late for inexpensive remediation. The ability to closely
monitor the failure progression and to even make operational
changes, to ‘nurse’ the machine to the next less-inconvenient
outage time, may be the best available strategy. In
this session you’ll learn the about stress wave monitoring
and analysis which is based on measuring friction and provides
an earlier identification of degradation in the failure
process and the ability to monitor the failure progression.
9:00-9:50am
Managing Multi-technology Condition Monitoring
Program for World-class Results: Actual Results
from a Large Mining Operation
Fred Salmon, The Mosaic Company
and Andy Page, Allied Reliability
While challenging, there are many rewards for successfully
implementing a multi-technology condition monitoring
program. In this session, you’ll hear how The Mosaic
Company enabled a cultural shift, new work practices and
shifted the focus of an experienced maintenance crew from
a run-to-failure mentality to a proactive mindset. The effort
has paid off - maintenance costs and unplanned downtime
are way down. The work-flow models and software tools
that helped drive the measures will be shared as well.
10:00-10:50am
Natural Frequency Testing
Robert J. Sayer, Sayer Inc.
The excitation of natural frequencies (resonance) is a
common problem in industry resulting from the inadequate
structural dynamic design of machine components and/or
supports. Resonance produces excessive vibration, that can
adversely affect the mechanical reliability of equipment.
Resonance can also lead to catastrophic failure.
This session will introduce methods used to experimentally
determine the natural frequencies of mechanical equipment
and supporting structures, including impact testing,
variable speed harmonic excitation and start-up and coastdown
testing.
1:30-2:20pm

achieve improved maintenance effectiveness and plant
reliability while reducing spare parts inventory and maintenance
costs.
This training focuses on building a partnership of your
maintenance and storeroom professionals with a common
objective of maximizing plant reliability through logical and
efficient management of the spare parts, materials and
information required by maintenance people.
