Vibration Analysis Priority Criteria
Repair Priority Causal Events or Scenarios
PRIORITY 1
Serious or advanced anomaly noted; i.e., broken gear tooth or advanced bearing defect, or Rapid upward vibration trend indicative of increased degradation; failure may be imminent, or Any defect noted on an extremely critical or safety-related piece of equipment, or Vibration levels far above industry norm for a particular component. Recommended repairs to be instituted in a timely fashion or at next earliest opportunity. If equipment should be immediately secured, customer will be informed prior to departure from site.
PRIORITY 2
Any Priority 3 anomalies which have begun to gradually trend upwards, or Initial detection of most bearing defects with no prior machine history, or Any defect noted which, left unattended, will result in further cumulative damage to a machine; i.e., coupling misalignment resulting in bearing damage. Recommended repairs to be completed during the next available outage period, if not sooner. Continued operation as a Priority 2 may result in the machine degrading to Priority 1 condition.
PRIORITY 3
Initial detection of a minor anomaly, or Initial data collection following corrective maintenance (status update), or Any Priority 2 faults which have been re-evaluated as not trending upwards and not a long-term reliability threat. Recommended repairs to be performed at a convenient time, unless otherwise specified.
Note: ISI Vibration Analysts reserve the right to deviate from the above guidelines based on analyst’s experience, statistical data, or industry “best-practices.”

Executive Summary for Vibration AnalysisSeptember 25, 2007

Vibration AnalysisABC Company123 StreetAnywhere, USAPhoneFax
Equipment Name Base Absorber Pump (N)
Primary Problem:
Defective motor.
Detailed Problem Description:
Prior analysis had identified loose bolts on the pump that resulted in a jump in vibration levels. Feedback indicates these bolts have been tightened and the pump has been aligned, resulting in a drop in pump vibration levels. However, overall vibration readings are continuing to increase on the motor and are indicative of a defect with the motor, possibly electrical. Current readings are above alarm levels.
Recommended Action:
Recommend replacing the motor and performing a laser alignment and softfoot check. Provide feedback to ISI.

Equipment Name K1 Agitator
Primary Problem:
Process problem.
Detailed Problem Description:
Vibration levels have decreased since the last service call, but remain well above alarm levels. Although no feedback has been received on this matter, ISI assumes that there is still a process problem that is affecting the operation of the agitator.
Recommended Action:
Correct the problem with the process ASAP to alleviate the excessive vibration levels. Provide feedback to ISI.

Equipment Name HCHO Agitator #10
Primary Problem:
Gearbox bearing lube issue.
Detailed Problem Description:
Feedback from the field indicates this gearbox sounds as if it is running a little dry on lubrication. A review of trend data shows an erratic increase in the amount of friction occurring on the output shaft bearing. Suspect either a lack of oil in the gearbox or the output shaft bearing needs greased.
Recommended Action:
Recommend checking the lube in the gearbox and grease the output shaft bearing. Provide feedback to ISI.

Primary Problem:
Defective gearbox internals.
Detailed Problem Description:
As previously reported, levels of impacting on the gearbox and motor are erratic and continuing to trend up. Suspect the cause may be due to damaged gearbox internals. Levels are well above alarm levels.
Recommended Action:
Recommend drawing a hot 3 ounce oil sample from the gearbox to verify damage is occurring and standby to replace the gearbox. Provide feedback to ISI.

Primary Problem:
Possible gear wear.
Detailed Problem Description:
Feedback from the field indicates this gearbox sounds slightly rougher than the others. A review of trend data indicates an erratic increase on some of the gearbox test points that appears to be consistent with gear wear.
Recommended Action:
Recommend drawing a hot oil sample from the gearbox to confirm the fault and the severity. Standby to replace this gearbox should the trend continue.

Primary Problem:
Structural damage.
Detailed Problem Description:
Feedback from the field indicates cracks are appearing in the center post that meets the top cross member between the motor and mixer shafts. There also appears to be a large horizontal vibration that may be a contributing factor to the damage.
Recommended Action:
Investigate the structural damage and make repairs as necessary. Also, determine the reason for the excessive rocking of the structure and provide feedback to ISI.

Primary Problem:
Possible loose motor shaft component.
Detailed Problem Description:
Feedback from the field indicates this motor sounds "rough." A review of trend data indicates a slight upward trend and the possibility of a loose motor shaft component. This would be consistent with the noise being heard from the motor.
Recommended Action:
Recommend checking the motor shaft for excessive endplay using a dial indicator and inspect for loose or worn shaft components.
