rotating equipment
b. Types of monitoring that could be provided and where they are
typically applied
c. Installation considerations specific to type of monitoring
equipment
d. General calibration and functional checkout
considerations
e. Documentation recommendations Types of rotating equipment
covered in this Practice include centrifugal compressors,
centrifugal pumps, gears, steam turbines, gas turbines, electric
motors and generators, and other shaft driven equipment.
This Practice does not cover anti-surge controllers, performance
controllers, seal gas systems, and other equipment auxiliary
systems.
