Abstract: Systems and methods to monitor pump cavitation are disclosed. An example method includes monitoring a pressure parameter and a vibration parameter associated with an asset in an operating process unit. The example method includes calculating a manipulated pressure value based on the pressure parameter. The example method includes calculating a manipulated vibration value based on the vibration parameter. The example method includes determining a state of cavitation associated with the asset based on at least one of the manipulated pressure value or the manipulated vibration value.

Abstract: A system and method for enhancing inspections using infrared cameras through in-field displays and operator-assisted performance calculations. A handheld infrared imaging system typically includes an infrared camera having a programmed computer (optionally with stored reference data from previous infrared or optical scans) and an interactive user interface suitable for displaying images and prompting response and accepting input from the infrared camera operator in the field during an inspection. The user interface may enable an operator to designate at least one thing of interest on a displayed infrared image; and the programmed computer uses a performance algorithm to estimate performance associated with the thing of interest such as one of the following: a dimensioned-measurement value or a thermal-property characteristic or an electrical-property characteristic or a cash value or a rate-of-change characteristic or an assessment of risk or danger.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for detecting machine parameters including vibration, producing signal corresponding to the parameters and conditioning the signals by means of predetermined criteria such as amplitude and time criteria. Routes may be input to the analyzer with settings that govern part of the conditioning for individual machines. The predetermined criteria also may include an input limit criterion which ensures the safety of the analyzer circuitry by indicating attenuation levels for incoming signals. The analyzer is also capable of two channel analysis of input signals including a summing analysis. The analyzer has thumb operated controls for easy operation in harsh environments.
