1. What is asset condition information? - ANSWER compromises all the data,
observations, and conditions of an asset. It is the cumulative condition of an
asset over its lifecycle. This approach enables day to day decision support as
well as prognostics of future conditions.
2. What has been one of the fastest growing areas in asset management in the
last 20 years? - ANSWER asset condition information
3. asset condition monitoring - ANSWER must be economically viable, in
other words, it saves more than it costs.
4. implementation decision and preparation - ANSWER includes 3 things 1.
top mgmt commitment and funding is essential 2. equipment databases must
be complete for best effect 3. a manager needs to be named and empowered
5. Fluid analysis can be performed by - ANSWER a commercial laboratory or
an in-house lab as individual situations might dictate. However, the most
important consideration is the means by which test data are assessed and
evaluated
6. Evaluation has traditionally been a human process and as such can vary
widely depending on - ANSWER the evaluator's knowledge and experience
with respect to the user's equipment and operating circumstances or
application
,7. Since no laboratory charges a fee for an advisory, it is important to know -
ANSWER how this process is performed and by whom when choosing the
analytical facility.
8. intelligent agents - ANSWER expert systems infused with domain
knowledge
9. over the last few decades ____________________ have been introduced to
reflect domain expertise in a logical, consistent, nuanced fashion often
offering a more focused assessment - ANSWER intelligent agents
10.You must be willing to supply thorough, accurate feedback to the evaluator
or the evaluating system if - ANSWER you expect both accurate
assessments and continuous learning and improvement, whether the
evaluator is a human or an intelligent agent
11.Fluid analysis has existed for a century primarily for - ANSWER assessing
lubricant contamination and degradation.
12.Fa (fluid analysis) is the only truly direct means of - ANSWER identifying
wear without visual inspection
13.Vibration analysis will always trump Fa for detecting faults like -
ANSWER misalignment or imbalance upon installation or refurbishment of
machinery.
14.Fluid Analysis (Fa) trumps vibration analysis - ANSWER If problems
develop when the lube is in-service, when wear metals often present
themselves in advance of vibration detection
, 15.Fluid Analysis (Fa) includes - ANSWER monitoring wear rates, a basic
check on fluid contamination and degradation in terms of suitability for
continued use, a secondary benefit.
16.Fa like vibration analysis - ANSWER is a condition monitoring process that
does not require the machine to be taken off-line for the monitoring process
to be effective
17.It can be argued that Fa is - ANSWER the most valuable component of
MCM, largely because of root cause issues such as water, abrasives, or fuel
often present themselves in the lubricant.
18.Reliability leaders consider ultrasound testing - ANSWER a vital
technology for asset condition monitoring (ACM)
19.Ultrasound testing - ANSWER is a powerful troubleshooting and condition
monitoring tool for any reliability department regardless of industry sector
20.ultrasound testing equips reliability technicians with - ANSWER super
human capabilities.
21.Of all the ACM technologies, which empowers the detection of asset defects
that generate ultrasonic waves produced by friction impacting and
turbulence. (FIT) - ANSWER ultrasound testing
22.defects identified by ultrasound testing are often confirmed by - ANSWER
sharing data (Asset condition information - Aci) from other ACM uptime
elements.
