Wireless vibration sensor for machine fault analysis
The Fluke 3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor combines a piezoelectric high-frequency sensor with advanced software analytics to enable maintenance teams to track and analyse asset vibration readings continuously. It enables the monitoring of an extensive portfolio of productioncritical assets.
Detect and localise leaks in Natural Gas Storage Installations
Natural Gas Storage Installations (NSGIs) are remote sites where large volumes of gas are stored. These facilities provide a back up gas reservoir to face consumption peaks due to seasonal variations, among other reasons. Uptime of NSGIs is critical and they need to be available 365 days a year. The maintenance team requires the ability to quickly and effectively scan large areas from a safe distance with the certainty of reliability and accuracy.
