Three Most Common Approaches to Maintenance
Approach Technique Needed Human Body Parallel
Reactive Maintenance Large budget
Unplanned loss of
production
Stroke or heart attack
Preventive Maintenance Periodic component
replacement
Bypass or transplant
Predictive Maintenance Monitoring of heat,
vibration, pressure, flow,
alignment and other
indicators
Detection with regular
check-ups, EKG or other
monitoring

Maintenance and Reliability
Joined at the Hip
Many companies have moved to a Predictive
Maintenance approach to monitor “critical”
process equipment, such as large compressors
and turbines
However, monitoring second-tier, “essential”
equipment – such as small compressors,
pumps, blowers, pipes, or cooling towers – may
be deemed too cost-prohibitive
Yet, failures of these essential assets represent
the majority of unplanned slowdowns and
slowdowns (see Figure 1)
And can comprise 70% of your maintenance
budget (see Figure 2)

Predictive Maintenance
Need for Early Identification
So how do you become more predictive?
One key is reading the warning signs so you can act before unplanned downtime
happens
A vast majority (81%) of
companies using Predictive
Maintenance have instituted
“alerts and alarm management”
as a core functionality*

“An Ounce of Prevention…”
What do all companies like yours
have that are relatively inexpensive
and can support predictive
maintenance efforts?
Gauges, which can:
Help you protect “essential”
equipment
Serve as a relatively low-cost alert
to potential problems, including
downtime

Gauges & Reliability
A mechanical gauge can serve as a low-cost,
mechanical back-up for your monitoring software
Or, it can serve as entry point to Predictive
Maintenance if you don’t have monitoring software
You can use gauges to:
Detect signs of degradation in process
performance
Diagnose causes of system and production
disruptions
Predict how long a piece of equipment can be
safely and economically run
Identify potential loss of process or loss of
containment

11. Challenge
•A gauge in a large chemical manufacturing plant that transfers a brine/salt water solution ruptured and released media Solution
•WIKA examined gauge and found root cause of failure was overpressure
•Brine solution became diluted and froze, causing pressure system to expand and rupture—when ambient temperature warmed, media poured out from the gauge
Results
•WIKA recommended customer investigate the installation to determine cause of overpressure situation
•Pressure gauge served as early warning system for much bigger problem with
•potentially disastrous results
•Company identified freezing issue before it ruptured the piping system

Where’s the Expertise?
“As many as 40% of
U.S. petroleum
engineers currently
employed by the
industry will retire by
2015.”
IDC Energy Insights
“The Role of Predictive Analytics in Asset
Optimization for the Oil and Gas Industry”
October 2010
To start using gauges as predictive indicators,
you first need the right gauges in the right
places…and that takes expertise
You may not know a lot about
instrumentation…or even care to learn more
Or maybe your engineers have retired…

Potential Leak Point
WIKA welds its stainless steel case to its
stainless steel socket
Other manufacturers screw the socket
into the gauge with a rubber O-ring,
which is prone to wear out and create a
leak point
With thousands of gauges in your
plant, it’s impossible to monitor
each one
That’s why WIKA has developed
solutions to protect against leaks
