Vibration Baseline, a Useful Concept for Condition Monitoring of Rotating Equipment

The condition of rotating equipment can be assessed using vibration measuring techniques. A number of these techniques including signal processing and analysis methods will be discussed briefly.Finally experiences on gas turbines and centrifugal compressors, operating in the Dutch gas transmission system, will be used to define a useful vibration baseline for condition monitoring, maintenance purposes and availability.Copyright © 1985 by ASME
