Air Gap Measurement

What, why, and how Hydro turbine-generators represent a mix of conventional radial vibration, thrust, and phase trigger measurements along with several measurements that are generally unique to hydro. In this article, we explore one such measurement – air gap – explaining what this measurement is, how it is made, and why it is important. […]

Combustion Dynamics Monitoring – An Overview

Combustion dynamics monitoring is often perceived as a “black box” where magical things take place inside without a clear understanding of how they work or what they do. In this brief tutorial, we de-mystify the topic and explain why it is a vital part of protecting modern gas turbines. Introduction Although gas turbines have been […]

Sensor Selection Criteria for Low-Frequency Measurements – Part 2

Sensor reliability In this 2-part series, we are examining the pros and cons of various sensors used for making low-frequency measurements. Although the hydro power sector is one of the most common industries where such measurements are required, it is by no means the only industry where such applications are found. The pulp & paper, […]

Sensor Selection Criteria for Low-Frequency Measurements – Part I

The physics of low-frequency measurements. In this 2-part series, we examine the pros and cons of various sensors used for making low-frequency measurements. Although the hydro power sector is one of the most common industries where such measurements are required, this is by no means the only industry where such applications are found. The pulp […]

Sensor Field Wiring Length Considerations for Hazardous Areas

While it is often acceptable to think of wire as an ideal conductor that simply gets a signal from point A to point B, this is rarely the case for long cable runs. In the real world, appreciable lengths of field wiring will introduce constraints on the signals produced by the sensor and then routed to the monitoring channel.
