| For nearly 30 years Sensonics has been supplying Turbine Condition Monitoring solutions to the power generation industry worldwide. Involved in measurement definition through to supply and final system commissioning, our experience within the power sector is second to none. We have produced this guide to capture the essence of that experience and to explain the basics of vibration and expansion measurement techniques relating to turbine and auxiliary plant equipment. The guide starts with an introduction to the basic transducers available for plant mounting with associated options, and details the various measurement techniques used as standard throughout the power industry. This is followed by typical equipment protection configurations for safe plant shutdown. In the final part of this guide the system components are introduced and special measurement regimes discussed. The guide aims to provide a balance of basic theory and practical advice but obviously cannot cover all measurement scenarios. For a detailed discussion on any measurement issues you may have, please feel free to contact Sensonics. |
