This session will provide an overview of the most popular predictive maintenance solutions for rotating and reciprocating equipment – vibration analysis, thermal imaging, motor testing, ultrasonics, oil analysis and other techniques – which together support a complete and effective condition-monitoring system. The speaker, a former doctor and department chief, also will provide an interesting explanation of how these PdM tests compare to medical tests attendees may be familiar with (blood tests, EKGs and X-rays), which have similar diagnostic goals (health status of patient, health status of equipment).
