On-site measurement technology
Purpose
Measurements carried out on site are a valuable way of verifying the design of and troubleshooting rotating machinery. They are also an eminent tool for identifying the response of a component or system and for calibratinge calculations.
Benefits
Measurements are often the only reliable method of verifying designs and investigating problems in complex machinery. Accurate results from measurements at an early stage of problem investigations help to save time and money.
DNV has multidisciplinary expert personnel and equipment at hand to carry out all types of machinery measurements. We offer a total service in which measurements and analyses of the data, together with a component analysis, contribute to the final solution.
Features
DNV offers to take measurements for design verification and troubleshooting in combination with shaft alignment, torsional vibrations axial vibrations and lateral vibrations measurments.
The measurement techniques applied are:
Strain gauges with telemetry transmitted signals
Jacking to verify of bearing loads for alignment
Proximity probes
Vibration responses
DNV also processes and analyses of the measured data in order to advise on design solutions or troubleshooting and damage investigations.
