 Plant Engineering Services Section
The Plant Engineering Services Section in the Mechanical
Engineering Division provides quick response field services for solving
machinery and piping system problems. The staff has extensive experience in compressor and
pipeline pulsation control, unsteady and pulsating flow measurement, and machinery
diagnostics.
The staff combines custom consultations, extensive field
studies, and comprehensive laboratory, analytical and computer-modeling capabilities to
rapidly and economically:
- Characterize machinery problems
- Diagnose the cause
- Predict the consequences
- Assess alternate designs
- Recommend solutions
A wide variety of field-portable sensors, data acquisition
systems, analyzers, and measurement systems of various types are maintained to support
work in the field. The staff maintains a "ready to travel" status to support
overnight response to critical need situations world-wide for the gas pipeline, paper, and
process industries.
The section develops:
- Remote machinery monitoring systems
- Sensors for special applications
- Diagnostic software tools
