| Vibration and oil analysis each provide valuable insights into the health of machine components and lubricant systems. The combination of ferrous density, wear particle analysis and PeakVue produce three independent perspectives into the root cause and severity of an abnormal condition. Armed with this information, predictive maintenance technicians are able to accurately recommend appropriate corrective actions in order to improve maintenance and plant reliability. |

From "Maintenance, Replacement, and Reliability: Theory and Applications, Second Edition":
Traditionally, maintenance practitioners in industry are expected to cope with maintenance problems without seeking to operate in an optimal manner.

As a consequence, no one is very sure of just what the best frequency of inspection is or what should be inspected, and as a result, these schemes are cancelled because it is said that they cost too much. |
