Steam trap testing- This blog will explain the energy savings potential of steam traps and the energy, economic, and environmental reasons why an active steam trap maintenance programme is beneficial to the organisation’s bottom line. Each area will be discussed in detail, and some new services, products, techniques, and technology that may assist maintain or
Thermography condition monitoring techniques are used to monitor the temperature and the temperature pattern of operating equipment. This data, along with data on the physical structure of the component and the thermodynamic condition of the equipment, is used to assess the degree of degradation of a process plant item. Three practical applications of thermography to
What is Ultrasonic Leak Detection? Sound is particularly sensitive to ultrasonic leak detectors. A high-quality ultrasonic leak detector, when correctly calibrated, will allow users to hear the blink of a human eye. This sort of leak testing may be done in an open or enclosed space and can be calibrated to isolate the sound generated
Compressed air systems- Air leaks are your compressed air system’s biggest adversary, regardless of the outside temperature. Your business air compressors may be clear of contaminants (such as moisture or oil) and have excellent filtering capabilities, yet an air leak will cause them to fail. Air leaks can occur anywhere from your machine to the
Did you know that the optimal working temperature is between 40° and 95° Fahrenheit? This implies that the freezing temperatures of winter can significantly influence your compressed air system, especially if the ambient temperatures in your compressor room are below this range. So, it’s time to investigate what the well-known expression “Winter is Coming” implies
How to halt the growth of microorganisms in compressed air The capacity of microorganisms to grow in a compressed air system is tied to the compressed air’s moisture content (dew point). So said, if there is moisture in your compressed air, germs such as mould and bacteria will be able to increase and thrive. While
Compressor system are expensive pieces of equipment critical to the profitability of plants, factories, and workshops. The compressors must be well-maintained to provide the best return on investment from the air compressor installation. The objective should be to get the most work out of the air compressor during its lifespan. After initial 7 to 8
What is infrared thermography for leak detection? Infrared thermography for leak detection is the technique of utilising an infrared camera to check for unusually hot or cold spots on a component that is performing normally. It is the most basic of all thermal inspection techniques and a promising non-destructive evaluation approach for the characterisation of
What makes airborne ultrasound so effective? All operating equipment and most of the leakage problems produce a broad range of sound. The ultrasonic components with high-frequency sounds are extremely short waves in nature. A shortwave signal tends to be pretty directional. (condition monitoring) As a result, isolating these signals from background plant and operational equipment
Steam trap surveys- What are steam traps? Steam trap survey, Dirt, which can clog or leak the trap, and pressure surges, which can harm internal components, are the two most common reasons for steam-trap failure. Thus, steam trap surveys might be required. In industrial process steam heating systems, both must be avoided. The main purpose
