10.0 ESTABLISHING A DATA COLLECTION ROUTE
The
Machinery Data Worksheet
helps organize data for routine data
collection. Vibration readings are taken on the Points (bearings)
established in your route and recorded using your naming convention on
the worksheet. Vibration, speed, temperature, pressure or any process
data may be recorded using this type of systematic approach.
Steps for Route collection:
1.
Determine the machines which require data collection.
2.
Define each measurement type for data collection Points on each
Machine. Several Points will have numerous readings i.e. VEL and ENV
and Temp.
3.
Establish a Route with the Machines grouped by physical location.
4. Walk the Rout
e collecting and recording data for each Point in your
Machinery Data Worksheet
.
11.0 RECORDING DATA FOR A MACHINE
The vibration sensor is placed on
each data collection Point. The
Point, direction of the sensor,
and the value are recorded on the
Machinery Data Worksheet
.
In the example shown right, Point
AVV is taken on the outboard
end of the motor, in the vertical
position with a velocity type
reading.
AHV = Point A in the horizontal
position with a Velocity type.
