IDCON's Condition Monitoring Standards.


IDCON's Condition Monitoring Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring a parameter of condition in machinery, such that a significant change is indicative of a developing failure. It is a major component of predictive maintenance.  Standards

The CMS documents have a consistent format using ample four-color pictures and illustrations to explain the function, condition monitoring as well as why and how each of these tasks should be executed. They are organized by component type such as AC motors, gear couplings, and heat exchangers.

Each CMS document is between three and seven pages long and contains brief inspection points, detailed instructions and suggested intervals for each on-the-run and shutdown inspection. The brief inspections texts are excellent as the basis for inspection routes and work order systems, while the more detailed instructions are ideal for reference and training material.

This approach offers cost savings over routine or time-based preventive maintenance because tasks are performed only when  technician.
