"Laser" infrared thermometers. Here is a guide Fluke puts out on how to calculate how big an area you are taking heat measurement from when when you use one of their products. If you play with it a little once in the office or home you can see you want the sensor below the laser to be right at the coupling or bearing. Otherwise you are mostly getting the wall or floor temp.

I really have to join, our local guy has stopped by and I've met him and they do have a lot to offer. I'm not union but I do a ton of union work, I get hired by the signatory shops and work alongside the union guys. I'm friendly with about 75% of the local here (300 members) and they've tried to sway me but it's just not in the cards for me. Good thing it's the weekend, I think Steve would cut this thread. I would like to know how and what parameters are being used for vibration analysis as it's something that I'd like to know as it pertains to fire pump drivers. I also use a laser infrared thermometer, a monarch like my laser tach and do a lot of laser alignments for both coupling replacements and as #25 directs. I'd love to know what's too much. Tom You pay your workers in Euros? Very progressive. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
