Todays modern machines with higher speeds and tighter design specifications demand reliable, highly accurate shaft alignment which the conventional mechanical method cannot achieve. Previousy, alignment with dial indicators and straightedges has been the standard procedure mainly for the lack of alternative.
There are however many sources of potential error and loss of accuracy with this mechanical method.
Inaccurate alignment between coupled rotating machines impacts on plant operation and maintenance functions that will result in costly failures.
By implementing good shaft alignment practice you can expect:
Periodically Fire pumps require re-calibrating against a (Non Intrusive) Digital Calibrated Flow Meter, Digital Tachometer and Pressure Transducer. This provides a flow against pressure curve that is a true indication of Pump performance.
This test is often utilised in arbitration between Insurers and their clients.
Once the Pumps have been returned to design specification the duties are certificated Since implementing this test in 2001 many sites have benefitted from reduced power and fuel consumptions and have experienced increased component longevity.
