Monitoring ParametersMonitoring Parameter Description

Shaft Vibration Relative vibration (displacement) between shaft and bearing at each bearing. 1 or 2 points par each bearing.

Bearing Vibration Absolute vibration (velocity or acceleration) of bearing housing/casing. 1 or 2 points par each bearing.

Axial Position

To monitor clearance of thrust bearing. Critical monitoring parameter during operating machine, especially at start up and shut down.

Eccentricity p-p

Shaft can be bent because of its own weight and partial heating. It’s necessary to monitor bending of rotor as observing shaft eccentricity during slow speed turning at non-operating of turbine.

Monitoring ParametersMonitoring Parameter Description

Differential Expansion

Differential Expansion between rotor and casing because of different thermal expansion of them during start up and operating of turbine.

Case Expansion Thermal expansion of turbine case. Contortion of case expansion is also monitored.

Rotating Speed Rotating speed of turbine shaft (rotor).

Phase Marker Phase reference for vibration analysis. Detection of one rotation for measuring eccentricity p-p.

Valve Position

To observe opening position of main steam inlet valve of steam turbine. This is used for controlling rotating speed of turbine.
