METHOD FOR PROCESSING DATA OBTAINED FROM A CONDITION MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

A method for processing data obtained from a condition monitoring system (10), which comprises the step of obtaining a vibration enveloped or an acoustic emission envelope (AEE) time waveform (28) from at least one sensor (14). The method comprises the step of counting how many transient events (30) cross a plurality of predetermined threshold levels (32) within said time waveform (28) and/or the step of counting the rate at which transient events (30) cross a plurality of predetermined threshold levels (32) within said time waveform (28), and/or determining a periodicity of repetition of said transient events (30) where applicable.
