Equipment Condition Monitoring

'Condition monitoring' is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery, such that a significant change is indicative of a developing failure. It is a major component of predictive maintenance. The use of conditional monitoring allows maintenance to be scheduled, or other actions to be taken to avoid the consequences of failure, before the failure occurs. Nevertheless, a deviation from a reference value (e.g. temperature or vibration behavior) must occur to identify impeding damages.

Global Monitoring manufactures remote monitoring system that enable you to monitor vital equipment conditions at any location at any time and maintain an ongoing record or its operation so you can measure the deterioration of critical condition over time. This proactive approach is typically much more cost effective than allowing the machinery to fail.

Global's remote monitoring systems enable you to monitor performance - a technique that can be applied to rotating machinery such as pumps and turbines, as well as stationary items such as boilers and heat exchangers. Measurements are required of physical quantities: temperature, pressure, flow, speed, displacement, etc. Absolute accuracy is rarely necessary, but repeatable data is needed.
