Specific Benefits of Phase Angle technology :

• Phase Angle technology detects fluctuations of motor torque. These fluctuations are caused by mechanical disturbances inside the monitored machine.
• The path from mechanical impacts to torque is short and direct.
• The same disturbances cause the change of vibration signatures but in this case whole body of monitoring machine is involved. The vibration signatures can be affected by resonance on machine natural frequencies, etc.
• Phase Angle technology can monitor electrical motors AND the machines they drive.
• The PSE footprint is invisible. No diagnostics instrumentation is installed on the monitored equipment. (All diagnostics hardware is located in the electrical cabinet or near it.)
• Many types of disturbances in rotating equipment will be observed earlier by phase angle monitoring than by vibration monitoring. Earlier is better if the time to failure is short. Early detection can avoid emergency shutdowns. Longer lead times of monitoring a disturbance can also lead to more accurate prognostics.
• Phase Angle technology is a type of motor current analysis. Its advantage over other motor current analysis systems is in a patented algorithm which defeats interference from electricity frequency instability and high harmonics.

Vibration Measurement Frequency Analysis and Diagnosis :
Vibration analysis can detect developing defects before they cause damages and cause unscheduled downtime. The analysis is part of regular monitoring of machine vibrations either on 24x7 basis or at scheduled intervals. Trending vibration levels helps in detecting problems due to bearing or alignment or looseness or unbalance etc. The detection followed by diagnosis and analysis make a composite package, which we offer either for individual element or as package. We offer these services on one time or once per month or once per quarter basis. These measurements and analysis could be useful in predicting future conditions for foreseeable future of the machines monitored.

Besides these services we also offer to arrange corrective maintenance activities for the defects detected through our services of predictive techniques. These could relate to Dynamic Balancing or Machine Train or Shaft / Pulley Alignment. Vibration analysis can help to improve equipment reliability.

We also undertake measurement of Ground Vibrations in machine areas and residential sensitive to such vibrations. The locations could include roof mounted generators, Data centers in large computer dependent facilities, Foundations of high sensitivity and high accuracy machines, Machine clusters having vibrating as well as precision machines, hospitals, multi storey apartments etc.

Energy Audits and Carbon Management :
An Energy Audit is a great tool to optimize energy consumption of any facility. As this is the single largest expense in a plant its optimization means reduction in expenses. Additionally reduced energy consumptions mean lower emissions and healthier environment. For large consumers of energy this could also mean carbon management and achieving carbon neutrality or earning of carbon credits.

Incidentally there are several legislations in many countries now require energy reduction and carbon footprint reduction targets to be met by industry. We help industry in complying with these norms. We undertake such audits in several stages. The starting point is a walk through audit generating a brief report and concluding part is in the form of full fledged Audit Report. Both reports cover following aspects though the details are covered in brief for walk through audit.

Environmental Impact Assessment Studies for Vibration and Noise in Rail / Metro and Road Projects :

• Ambient Level Measurements :
  • Noise Levels
  • Vibration Levels
• Railway Level Measurements :
  • Noise Levels
  • Vibration Levels
• Road Traffic Noise / Vibration
• Current Noise / Vibration Level
• Estimations
• Predicted impacts of noise &Vib

Oil Analysis of lubricants and Hydraulic Fluids for various properties :
We carry out sampling as well as analyzing of oil for various physical or chemical properties as well as materials present in the used oils. The service brings out wear severity as well as contamination levels. We are able to monitor following parameters :

• Viscosity @ 40ºC and 100ºC
• Viscosity Index
• TAN (total acid number)
• TBN (total base number)
• Water Content

Premises and Machine Sound and Noise Analysis :
Sound generated by equipment is a great signature for analyzing equipment health and source of abnormalities. In that context we carry out analysis of sound to identify the source of machine problems. We use different kind of sound analysis techniques including Octave analysis. Applications of these techniques is of great relevance in analyzing defects of sealed system like gear boxes and bearings.

In the context of neighborhood noise we can carry out surveys and provide noise levels present in party halls, open functions, auditoriums etc

Water leakage in pipes up to a depth of 6 meters :
We provide services for tracking water leakage in pipes up to a depth of 6 meters. Our equipment is able to tracing buried utilities and exact finding of their defect locations. These instruments are used for searching leak location, tracing of loaded and dead cables, metal and non-metal pipelines, for accurate temperature and humidity measurement, for energy inspection.

• Detection of power cables under tension, a passive method up to depth of 6m
• We use equipment specially designed for water distribution pipelines.
