Abstract
Several predictive maintenance techniques are used to monitor and analyze critical machines, equipment, and systems in a typical plant. These techniques include vibration analysis, ultrasonic, thermography, tribology, process monitoring, visual inspection, and other non-destructive analysis techniques. The most dominant predictive maintenance technique used with maintenance management programs is vibration analysis. However, vibration analysis does not provide the data required analyzing electrical equipment, areas of heat loss, the condition of lubricating oil, or other parameters typically evaluated in a maintenance management program. Therefore, a total plant predictive maintenance program must include several techniques, each designed to provide specific information on plant equipment.
