Ultrasound Field Guides - Couplings, Vacuums & Electrical Assets

Course Description

There exists an intricate connection among the component structures of every world-class reliability program. That connectivity manifests at the departmental level, throughout operations, production, maintenance, and of course at the executive level, where it all begins.

Course Goals

• Develop maintenance strategies for a wide variety of assets
• Develop a repertoire of skills and field knowledge that goes beyond the basics of ultrasound inspection

Maintenance - Must Win Battles - Course Modules

1. Reliable Electrical Assets - with Craig Casler

   Ultrasound and Infrared have been considered companion technologies for as long as the two have existed. This point is underscored when the two are deployed for inspecting electrical assets for partial discharge. Arcing, tracking, corona, and other airborne discharges reveal the potential for failure and they reveal themselves through heat and sound. These defects can exist in substations, transformers, T&D lines, or hidden behind panels in electrical cabinets. These problems are not contained to high voltage only. Ultrasound and Infrared symbiotically identify potential defects in low and medium voltages as well.

2. Utilizing Ultrasound for Coupling Inspection - with Robert Dent

   Module Type: video | Duration: 1 hour and 1 minutes | Module ID: BTE-UFG1-02

   Couplings are an integral part of a rotating asset and require regular inspection and maintenance. A significant number of couplings are scheduled for routine inspection during outages. These visual, offline inspections involve disassembling and reassembling the coupling which is time consuming and introduces the additional risk of damage during reassembly. Moreover, inspections often reveal their condition was perfectly good all along. Is there a better, less intrusive method of inspection that could eliminate this wasteful PM?
