Abstract

ABSTRACTThis paper deals with machinery condition analysis techniques that have been used on selected Navy surface ships; in particular with those of performance and vibration measurement. When properly applied and interpreted by knowledgeable engineers, they can provide surprisingly accurate diagnosis of defects and deficiencies in operating equipments such as pumps, compressors, turbines and gears. Use of such techniques can lead to extension, and in some cases, elimination of regularly scheduled overhaul periods. Further potential is discussed in regard to development of instrumentation and techniques that are within the capability of ship personnel.
