Practical Machinery Vibration Analysis and Predictive Maintenance

Appendix A: Exercises

1 Predictive Maintenance Basics

1.

1.1 The maintenance philosophy of operating the machine until it fails is called:

  1. Breakdown maintenance

  2. Proactive maintenance

  3. Predictive maintenance

  4. Preventive maintenance.

2.

1.2 The maintenance philosophy under which an operating machine is taken up for maintenance based on the condition of its health to prevent a breakdown is called:

  1. Breakdown maintenance

  2. Proactive maintenance

  3. Predictive maintenance

  4. Preventive maintenance.

3.

1.3 Root cause failure analysis is a technique adopted under:

  1. Breakdown maintenance

  2. Proactive maintenance

  3. Predictive maintenance

  4. Preventive maintenance.

4.

1.4 Vibration analysis is a technique adopted under:

  1. Breakdown maintenance

  2. Proactive maintenance

  3. Predictive maintenance

  4. Preventive maintenance.

5.

1.5 Name the three categories under which plant equipment can be classified.

6.

1.6 In a typical process plant, there are five cooling water supply pumps. Depending on the weather conditions, four of the five pumps are operational at any point in time. Electrical motors with a rating of 1.5 MW drive these pumps. Under which category would you classify these pumps?

7.

1.7 Predictive maintenance principles are analogous to:

  1. Crime detection

  2. Medical science

  3. Forensic medicine

  4. Failure analysis of electronic components.

8.

1.8 One of the following is not a predictive maintenance technique:

  1. Root cause failure analysis

  2. Ultrasonic thickness measurement

  3. Performance evaluation

  4. Vibration analysis.

9.

1.9 Vibration analysis (in the detection mode) is done:

  1. On a regular basis for selected machines

  2. To detect the severity of fault in a machine

  3. To ascertain the time after which machine or its component will fail

  4. To detect faults in vibration measuring...
