For use in pumps, fans, gearboxes, cooling towers and motors
in upstream, midstream and refining facilities.

Specifying a Vibration Sensor

Vibration monitoring machinery operating in the oil and gas industry is critical for preventing unexpected shutdown, while reducing overall operating costs.

Vibration analysts and reliability engineers use techniques such as predictive and preventative maintenance using vibration monitoring as a key indicator of machine health.

At Hansford Sensors we manufacture a full range of accelerometers and vibration sensors to help your business meet the challenges of monitoring and maintaining a wide range of equipment including blowers, compressors, cooling towers, fans, gearboxes, mixers, motors and pumps operating in hazardous oil and gas applications.

Factors to consider

Selecting the best accelerometer or vibration sensor for oil and gas applications depends on a number of factors. These include:

  • Availability of the plant
  • Cost of breakdown
  • Criticality of the machine/impact on the production process
  • Access to machine, guarding, health and safety implications
  • Environmental factors
