What is Maintenance?
The work of keeping something

in proper condition; upkeep
All activities involved in
keeping a systems equipment
in working order
Types of Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance
Breakdown Maintenance
Reliability Centered Maintenance
Types of Maintenance
Preventive Maintenance: Actions performed on a time - or machine-run-based

schedule that detect, preclude, or mitigate degradation of a component or system
with the aim of sustaining or extending its useful life through controlling
degradation to an acceptable level.
(Routine inspection and servicing i.e. cleaning, inspection, oiling and re-tightening; to
keep facilities in good working condition)
Breakdown Maintenance: Repairs or replacements performed after a machine has

failed to return it to its functional state following a malfunction or shutdown.
Wait until equipment fails and repair it. It could be planned or unplanned
Predictive Maintenance: ???
Reliability Centered Maintenance: a process used to determine the maintenance

requirements of any physical asset in its operating context
It is a process to ensure that assets continue to do what their users require in their
present operating context.
Prioritizing maintenance efforts based on equipments importance to operations, its

downtime cost in revenue and customer loss, its impact on safety, and its cost of repair
Predictive Maintenance (PdM)
Predictive maintenance attempts to detect the onset of a degradation

mechanism with the goal of correcting that degradation prior to significant
deterioration in the component or equipment
Predictive maintenance techniques are designed to help determine the

condition of in-service equipment in order to predict when maintenance
should be performed
It is condition based maintenance. It manages trend values, by measuring

and analyzing data about deterioration and employs a surveillance system,
designed to monitor conditions through an on-line system
Basically, predictive maintenance differs from preventive maintenance by

basing maintenance need on the actual condition of the machine rather than
on some preset schedule

Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection
Visual inspection was the
first method used for
predictive maintenance
during the industrial
revolution time
Method
Maintenance technicians will

perform daily/scheduled
walkdowns of critical
production and
manufacturing systems in an
attempt to identify potential
failures or maintenancerelated problems that could
impact reliability, product
quality, and production costs
Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic
Ultrasonic, or ultrasounds, are defined as sound waves that have a

frequency level above 20 kHz.
Basically ultrasonic tool can be used to monitor Sound waves in the

frequency spectrum of 20kHz to 1MHz which are higher than what can
normally be heard by humans
These higher frequencies are useful for detecting leaks that generally
create high-frequency noise caused by the expansion or compressed of
air, gases, or liquids as they flow through the orifice, or a leak in
either pressure or vacuum vessels
These can also be used in measuring the ambient noise levels in

various areas of the plant
Ultrasonic leak Detector is the tool we use for ultrasonic

inspection/analysis

Tribology
Tribology
Definition
Tribology is the science and

engineering of interacting surfaces
in relative motion. It includes the
study and application of the
principles of friction, lubrication
and wear
It is a branch of engineering that
deals with the design, friction,
wear and lubrication of interacting
surfaces
Techniques
lubricating oil analysis
Spectrographic analysis
Ferrography
Wear particle analysis
Tribology /2
Lubricating oil analysis: is an analysis technique that determines the

condition of lubricating oils used in mechanical and electrical equipment.
Lube oil analysis test for: Viscosity, Contamination, Solids content, Particle
count etc.
Spectrographic analysis: allows accurate, rapid measurements of many of

the elements present in lubricating oil
Wear particle analysis: provides direct information about the wearing

condition of the machine
Ferrography: is similar to spectrography, it separates particulate

contamination by using a magnetic field rather than by burning a sample as
in spectrographic analysis
Thermography
Thermography: History
Sir William Herschel, an astronomer, discovered infrared in 1800.

He built his own telescopes and was therefore very familiar with
lenses and mirrors. Knowing that sunlight was made up of all the
colors of the spectrum, and that it was also a source of heat,
Herschel wanted to find out which color(s) were responsible for
heating objects. He devised an experiment using a prism,
paperboard, and thermometers with blackened bulbs where he
measured the temperatures of the different colors. Herschel
observed an increase in temperature as he moved the
thermometer from violet to red in the rainbow created by sunlight
passing through the prism. He found that the hottest temperature
was actually beyond red light. The radiation causing this heating
was not visible; Herschel termed this invisible radiation "calorific
rays." Today, we know it as infrared.
Thermography: What is?

Thermography
Thermo

Graphy
Photography
The recording of a visual image of the heat that bodies emit as infrared /
thermal radiation.
Thermography: Benefits
By process or operation 99% of all plants has a Thermal profile
Increases AVAILABILITY and RELIABILITY of plant equipment
Thermography leads to early detection of fault conditions
Thermography takes place under full load, no production interference
Reduces number of unplanned shutdowns
Safe, non-contact, non-invasive inspection
Repeatable and a high degree of accuracy

Vibration
Vibration
Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur

about an equilibrium point
Changes in the health, or condition, of a machine often produce

changes in the machines vibration.
Even a perfectly healthy machine produces some degree of

vibration.
Condition monitoring monitors for change in the vibration that a

machine problem normally produces.
Vibrations felt in the steering wheel can be an indicator of an outof-balance wheel or looseness in the steering linkage
Vibration analysis could be used to detect unbalance,

misalignment, bend shaft, looseness, bearing defect in a machine
Vibration: Magnitude of Vibration
Displacement: The total distance traveled by the vibrating part from one
extreme limit of travel to the other extreme limit of travel. This distance is
also called the peak-to-peak displacement.
Velocity: A measurement of the speed at which a machine or machine

component is moving as it undergoes oscillating motion
Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity. Recognizing that vibrational

forces are cyclic, both the magnitude of displacement and velocity change
from a neutral or minimum value to some maximum. Acceleration is a value
representing the maximum rate that velocity (speed of the displacement) is
increasing
Vibration: Measurement Selection

Vibration: Measurement sensor orientations

Axial
Vibration: Measurement sensor orientations
Horizontal: Measurements typically show higher amplitudes since

most machines are more flexible in the horizontal plane
Vertical: Measurements typically show lower vibration amplitudes

than horizontal due to the increased vertical stiffness and gravity
Axial: Under ideal conditions, axial readings should have low

vibration readings, as most forces are generated perpendicular to
the shaft. However, problems such as misalignment or a bent shaft
create vibration in the axial plane as well as some bearing faults
