SKF--the top knowledge engineering company, is launching the an new indraught of vibration monitor --SKF Multilog On-line System DMx, that has been certified as essential safe; at Offshore Europe 2009 on Stand 1472. The system conforms to the API-670 standard and is ATEX and IECEx certified that makes it ideal for use with critical machinery such as gas and steam turbines, generators, motors, pumps, fans and compressors in both non-hazardous and hazardous Oil and Gas applications.

Combines machine protection with condition monitoring functionality are combined by The Multilog On-line System DMx in a single device that can be mounted directly on the machine skid. The unit provides continuous data obtained which can predict and prevent a failure, protecting machinery by alarming operators that could lead to a potential catastrophic failure. The system's compact modular design means that minimum cabling, cabinets and isolation barriers are required, saving time and money during installation. Furthermore, its low power consumption provides continuing energy savings.

 

The new Multilog system is an important part of SKF's extensive range of condition monitoring products designed for the Oil and Gas industry. This series which is versatile and easy to install, also includes intrinsically safe, theMicrolog Analyzer CMXA51-IS - an ATEX-certified, rugged and portable, hand-held instrument for collecting vibration, process, and dynamic data in hazardous environments - and the SKF Multilog WMx - a wireless monitoring device, certified for ATEX Zone 2, making it ideal for drilling and transporting equipment. The SKF Multilog WMx is particularly suited for temporary installations; troubleshooting; equipment that is difficult to access or has moving components, such as a crane; or equipment that is in transit or frequently moved.

 

For allowing exact collection of data from multiple devices, simple analysis, and integrated reporting for a comprehensive picture of asset conditions at one or more sites, all SKF condition monitoring devices interface with the SKF aptitude Monitoring Suite of software.
