Many power generation companies have standardized on monitoring systems that use negative voltage to power their monitoring systems. Generally, these systems work on a three wire model. CTC has…
RMS, Peak, and Peak to Peak are commonly used to express the amplitude value for each signal or frequency. Here is a definition of these terms: The RMS value is expressed from zero to 70.7% of the…
There are several important differences between CTC's M4TR2 and M4TR4 connectors which are used in RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) systems.…
The harsh chemicals used in the paper industry are well known to be difficult to handle and can cause many different issues for sensors and cabling used to monitor paper manufacturing machinery. Some…
Learn about vibration monitoring strategies for industrial jet fan tunnels.…
In the vibration industry analysts often have to deal with various harsh solvents and other chemicals present in the industrial environment. These include sulfuric acid in both liquid and gas forms,…
Settling time can be described as the amount of time you must wait to make a vibration measurement after: turning the power on, connecting the sensor, “mounting” the sensor,…
Underwater applications for vibration sensors can be problematic at times. As the sensors require some type of power, the possibility of water ingression into either the sensor or cable makes failure…
Developing an efficient predictive maintenance program is essential for the success of food and beverage manufacturing operations.…
It is not uncommon in industry to find a junction box or switch box enclosure with water seeping in, especially when an entry or exit is made on the side or top. Often water pours out when the analyst…
