c. evaluating readings taken to identify methods by which more appropriate or

meaningful data may be taken

1.8.2 Upgrading of the program may entail increasing or reducing requirements in terms of

machines to be monitored, type and number of measurements per machine, and time

interval between readings. In addition, vibration monitoring equipment, including

software, should be periodically evaluated and consideration made for upgrading

based on changing technology.

1.8.3 Failures of equipment included in the vibration monitoring program should have

detailed root cause investigations to determine why the program did not detect

degradation before the failures occurred.

1.8.4 As a means of performing preliminary evaluation of equipment being considered for

possible inclusion in the program and establishing measurement parameters for

equipment to be added, vibration data may be taken on equipment other than that

listed in Table 1.
