Pressure vessels are designed for storing fluids at different pressures. Most pressure vessels are designed in adherence to ASME safety guidelines; however, that doesn’t guarantee their long-term performance. This is because, the pressure vessels are used to hold different toxic and non-toxic fluids, which may have an impact in the short or long term.
Predictive maintenance are techniques utilizing condition-monitoring that allows a facility to track the performance of reliability of equipment while it is in operation. The data collected from various sensors allows organizations to pinpoint defects and potential risks before they occur, avoiding equipment failure and potential safety issues. Condition-monitoring is a critical aspect of predictive maintenance programs and allows for the ability to track an asset’s performance utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT). This allows digital connection between pieces of equipment and assets and the ability to analyze data in real-time.
Comprehensive predictive and preventative maintenance programs help to ensure that your critical equipment is operable, reliable, and safe for your employees to use. Key benefits to a functioning predictive and preventative maintenance program include cost savings related to:
- Less production hours that are lost to maintenance
- Less time the equipment is being maintained
- Decrease in the cost of supplies and spare parts
