Abstract
ABSTRACT Vibration analysis finds practical applications in condition monitoring of critical plant items, rotating electrical machines plants, testing of repaired equipment and the troubleshooting of process machines. Its major benefits are found in prolonged equipment life, reduced maintenance and repair cost, reduce need for standby machines, minimal equipment breakdown, and encourage predictive maintenance instead of routine overhaul of machines. More importantly there is a less noise generation in machines subjected to vibration analysis as the incipient faults are detected and fixed early enough before a major breakdown occurs.
