Web-Based Dashboard Solution Monitors Equipment Health From Machine To Fleet Levels 

GE’s Measurement & Control business has introduced Bently Nevada System 1 Fleet Management, a Web-based dashboard providing a single, secure access point for monitoring equipment and instrument health from the machine to fleet levels across industrial users. The condition-monitoring solution, a part of GE Predictivity Industrial Internet Solutions, allows operators to effectively monitor each connected plant asset for an all-in-one view of operational health. System 1 Fleet Management applies Advanced Analytics, combining physics-based analytics, predictive algorithms and deep domain expertise, to instrument and software alarms. With an intuitive user interface, the dashboard requires little training for use and maintenance.

Automated On-Off Valves

The VA Series combines a pneumatic actuator and fast on-off control valve into one body, eliminating packing glands, actuators and mounting kits. There are no exposed moving parts, eliminating pinch points and increasing operator safety. Because the actuator is part of the valve, it costs less than standard actuated valves. According to the company, operating life has been tested to well over 1,000,000 cycles due to a balanced design that reduces friction and wear.

Thermal Imaging Cameras

General Tools & Instruments’ expanded line of Predator thermal imaging cameras includes nine extended-temperature-range models. The GTi10, GTi20 and GTi50 now offer models with temperature-measurement ranges up to 600 C (1112 F), 1000 C (1832 F) and 1500 C (2732 F), respectively. The units detect small temperature differences from a distance and convert an object’s invisible infrared radiation to a visible color image. Each model is powered by two rechargeable Li-ion batteries (included) for up to six hours of operation.

Steam-Turbine Sealing Solution 

The Sentinel Floating Brush Seal (FBS) for Elliott YR process steam turbines was developed as a drop-in replacement to carbon rings. The manufacturer claims it can extend seal life by three times normal maintenance intervals. Its brush-seal technology comprises densely packed, flexible metallic bristles that bend with changing clearances between rotating and stationary surfaces. The brush serves as the primary shaft seal while a carbon element provides face sealing in the turbine casing.
