Exhaust Vibration Measurement - Customer Requirement One of Prosig's customers needed to perform exhaust vibration measurement on some of their vehicles. They contracted Prosig to take the measurements and provide reports of the…
Having played the trumpet for over 10 years I have left many an orchestral rehearsal with my ears ringing courtesy of the onslaught of noise from the trombone section behind me. In searching for a topic for my final year research project as part of my studies at Southampton University, the risk of hearing loss to orchestral musicians seemed a natural choice.
When dealing with some vibration data from a pump, we observed some strange phenomena in the data. It turned out to be a classic case of amplitude modulation. Here we explain what that means.
Prosig was contracted by Imperial Electric in Akron, Ohio to integrate a system for end of line vibration test for electric motors they manufacture. The requirement was to qualify motors under…
The intention of this article is not to present any new scientific theories or ground breaking techniques, but to introduce new users to hammer impact testing and remind seasoned technicians of a method…
After finding the natural frequency of a system, what could be done to stop or reduce the systems resonance being excited? Basically put, how do we avoid resonance This is…
A long-standing customer brought along his power station turbine test rig so that we could give the P8000 hardware and DATS software a good workout. Here's a video of the…

There are many reasons to measure and analyze noise. It may relate to legislation or regulations that limit noise in certain environments, we could be using the noise to investigate…
Recently, we decided it was about time we had a new model for testing, training and demonstrations. Specifically, we wanted something that would allow us to test the full capability…
Have you ever wondered if there is a vibration condition monitoring system that can be installed anywhere and then monitored from anywhere else? Even on your smartphone? Well, there is. The following…
A vibration problem arose at an Open Cycle Gas Turbine. Following an outage on the four gas turbines and two SSS[1] clutches, the machine returned to service with unacceptable vibration…
We're going to look today at some of the practical aspects of how we measure noise & vibration and consider why it's important that you should measure and, more importantly,…
