Position sensors and motors are crucial components in oil and gas equipment and must operate day in and day out in some of the most challenging conditions.
Monitoring Mechanical Behavior of Reciprocating Compressors
- White Paper
By Istec
In this whitepaper we focus on the mechanical health and behaviour of reciprocating compressors with four important indicators; impact, temperature (valves and bearings), vibration and rod drop. Table 1 shows the typical measurements for reciprocating compressors.
