Creators

  • 1. Rockwell International Corp., Canoga Park, CA

Description

A large number of power station outages have been traced to vibration related causes. Currently in the nuclear power industry, a significant amount of preventative maintenance equipment is being installed to diagnose these vibration problems before serious damage results. A system for on-line vibration and loose parts monitoring is described as well as the results of some experience with these systems. A benefit-to-cost ratio justification for such a system is presented
