Olympic,
I don't know how big a system you're talking about, but for the most part, yes, vibration can be transferred from the belts and by the belts. I've seen many belts that are overtight and end up transmitting running speeds from driven to driver, or vice versa. Then you have belt...
I would bring it up to make sure everything was properly negotiated and to keep everything honest. And to make sure your benefits, tax deductions, etc. were being calculated correctly. Also, what if it is a mistake and it does go unnoticed for, say, 10 months--that's $5k. Then they want it back...
Or Crystal?
Here's a thought:
Why do you want people to be able to fool with the numbers? The basic idea behind a report is for you the developer to organize the data in a way your readers can draw a conclusion. If you're only exporting the numbers to Excel so you can graph it, make the chart...
Roy,
You've probably already done your roof scans, but in case you haven't I have a few comments:
1.) Marking roofs is a team effort. First and foremost is safety. You don't want to be alone on a roof where you suspect problems. And then there are the hazards of being that far off the ground...
The best I've seen is Graph Paper Printer at http://webperso.easynet.fr/~philimar/graphpapeng.htm. It'll print any kind of graph paper you can think of--well, at least that I can think of.

Forget ISO. Anything turning that fast and vibrating that much just isn't right--especially if you're sure it's all balance. Tell your expert the controlling standard is _your_ standard and throw the book back at him. You don't want fair--you want excellent. Your equipment will thank you for it...
So here's the rest of the story:
We're experiencing high 1X vibration on an overhung pump (Ahlstrom ERS-30, 14x12, 1800 rpm). Last week one of our PM guys noticed a bad shake and sure enough, it had jumped from 0.23 to 0.95 ips. We shut the system down, pulled the runner and found nothing in...
I'm not sure about generators either, but most of our motors (900-3600 rpm, 25 hp to 800 hp) run below 0.15 ips--and that's coupled to equipment that's running from 0.2 to 0.4 ips. If the generator is running 0.75, what's the equipment around it running at? What's the spectrum look like?

When I create a button, a box pops up asking if I want to assign a macro. Or right-click an existing button and select 'assign macro.' Then assign existing code or create new code with the name suggested.

Another very good tool is the macro recorder. If you're slightly familiar with any programming language, you'll probably start to figure out how the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) pieces together the VBA. Go to Tools>Macros>Record (or something like that), record something simple like moving one cell...
John's list is very thorough so I'll just comment on a couple of things. We've successfully found: plugs in liquor lines, sludge in liquor tanks, foam levels in soap tanks, bypassed heat exchangers, wet streaks in felts, dryer cans not syphoning correctly, lime kiln brick delaminating, mud...
It's an inline mixer mixing pulp stock (8% by weight) and chemicals. We have other mixers running at 1800 rpm. We're experimenting with some new geometries.
What we have is basically a paddle wheel in a 14" process line. The paddles are flat bars (A=0.139 ft²) turning at 900 rpm (what we're thinking so far). With a 6.3" radius, that gives us a tip speed of 49 fps. If the drag force on a paddle equals Cd*(1/2*ñ*V²*A), then I get 675 lb per...
