Method and system for use in condition monitoring of pressure vessels
First Claim
1. A condition monitoring system for a pressure vessel comprising:
- at least one vibration monitoring probe coupled to at least one pressure vessel component; and
at least one computing device comprising;
a memory device configured to store data associated with said at least one vibration monitoring probe;
at least one input channel, said at least one input channel configured to receive the data associated with said at least one vibration monitoring probe; and
a processor coupled to said memory device and said at least one input channel, said processor programmed to determine a deterioration of the material condition of the at least one pressure vessel component by comparing at least a portion of the data associated with said at least one vibration monitoring probe with predetermined vibration parameters.

Abstract
A condition monitoring system for a pressure vessel includes at least one vibration monitoring probe coupled to at least one pressure vessel component. The system also includes at least one computing device that includes a memory device configured to store data associated with the at least one vibration monitoring probe. The computing device also includes at least one input channel configured to receive the data associated with the at least one vibration monitoring probe. The computing device further includes a processor coupled to the memory device and the at least one input channel. The processor is programmed to determine a deterioration of the material condition of the at least one pressure vessel component by comparing at least a portion of the data associated with the at least one vibration monitoring probe with predetermined vibration parameters.
