Why PSW

UNDERSTAND THE CONDITION.
PLAN THE NEXT STEP.

Changes in equipment condition can reveal developing faults before a breakdown occurs. PSW uses techniques including vibration analysis, ultrasound and oil analysis to investigate signs of deterioration and help your team understand what needs attention.

By making these findings part of your maintenance programme, you can prioritise work and plan repairs around operational demands, reducing reliance on reactive maintenance.

OUR TECHNIQUES

THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE. A CLEARER PICTURE OF CONDITION.

Different faults need different inspection methods. PSW offers a range of condition monitoring techniques to help identify developing problems and support planned maintenance.
01
VIBRATION ANALYSIS
right-arrow
ROTATING EQUIPMENT
FAULT DIAGNOSIS
Assess the condition of rotating machinery and investigate issues such as imbalance, misalignment and bearing wear. Vibration analysis helps identify deterioration before failure.
02
ULTRASONIC ANALYSIS
right-arrow
LEAK DETECTION
MECHANICAL CONDITION
Use ultrasound to investigate bearing and lubrication issues, alongside pressure and vacuum leaks. The inspection method is selected to suit the equipment and fault.
03
OIL SAMPLING & ANALYSIS
right-arrow
LUBRICANT CONDITION
CONTAMINATION
Check lubricant condition and identify contamination that could affect equipment reliability. Oil analysis helps inform maintenance decisions and investigate the source of developing problems.
04
INFRARED ANALYSIS

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
HEAT DETECTION
Identify abnormal heat patterns in electrical and mechanical equipment. Infrared inspections help locate overheating associated with poor connections, overloads and other developing defects.
05
STEAM TRAP ANALYSIS
