PUMP INTEGRITY MONITORING

摘要

A method of monitoring integrity of a pump. The method may include record ing timing information of the pump during operation while simultaneously sam pling acoustic data with a high speed equidistant acquisition mechanism or a t a rate based on the speed of the pump in operation. The acquisition of aco ustic data is followed by evaluation thereof. Such techniques may improve re solution of acquired data while substantially increasing processor capacity for evaluation. A pump integrity monitor for carrying out such techniques is also described.
