Steam traps play a critical role in maintaining efficient steam systems, but leaks and failures can lead to significant energy loss and costly repairs. Ultrasound technology offers an effective solution for detecting these issues, providing valuable insights for preventative maintenance. This article will discuss how combining ultrasound with visual inspection and temper...

Lubrication management is crucial for preventing equipment failures, but traditional methods often result in costly over- or under-lubrication. This article explores how ultrasound technology offers a precise solution by detecting inaudible sound waves to monitor bearing conditions in real-time. Learn how to use ultrasound to establish baseline readings, track lubricati...

Leaks can form practically anywhere in a plant. This includes pressurised systems and systems under a vacuum. Leaks can occur internally through valves and steam traps, in heat exchanger and condenser tubes or to the atmosphere. While it is important to locate potential safety hazards from leaks, the loss of gases through leaks can be very costly.

Vibration analysis has been for many years the technology of choice for maintenance professionals to monitor the condition of rotating assets. However, in the last years ultrasound has also emerged as a very popular technology for condition monitoring. The question that many are now asking themselves is: which one is best? Ultrasound or vibration? In this article we will...

Unfortunately, in most cases, they are being asked to do more with less. That is why it is critical for those in the maintenance and reliability fields to have the proper tools to aid in making better decisions about the health of the facility’s assets. After all, maintenance is all about getting the most life out of an asset as efficiently as possible. It is also impera...

Contrary to what some might think, compressed air is not free. In fact, for what it takes to produce it, to what is generated it is often considered the most expensive utility in a typical manufacturing facility. Air Compressor experts have also estimated that as much as 30% of the compressed air generated is lost via leaks in the compressed air system.

What if we could lubricate our bearings remotely, from any device, making sure that the right amount and right lubricant are always used – and even better, based on bearing condition? Then we would address the 3 main lubrication issues which cause most of early bearing failures. Today this is already possible. Using ultrasonic sensors and single point lubrication devices...

Vibration analysis has long been the instrument of choice to use for bearings and other rotating equipment. Increasingly, ultrasound is being used in conjunction with vibration analysis to help technicians confirm the condition of mechanical assets. Ultrasound is especially useful with applications where vibration normally cannot help, such as condition-based lubrication...

The OnTrak is an IIoT Bearing Monitoring System designed to proactively identify lubrication needs and warn users about bearing issues at the earliest point possible. Together with the SmartLube, it will give users the possibility of lubricating their bearings remotely, based on bearings’ friction levels, from any device, anytime and anywhere.
