Oil and gas provide energy and essential chemicals required for transport, industry and homes. An uniterrupted supply of these important commodities must be guaranteed. The many pumps, complex compressors and booster pumps used especially in offshore platforms and on pipelines are some of the equipment within the industry where PRUFTECHNIK measurement technology comes to operation.

Modern measurement technology for machine maintenance
Important production line areas where PRÜFTECHNIK measurement technology is put to use include:

• Pumps
• Compressors
• Generators
• Drilling drives
• Thruster drives for offshore platforms

Critical aggregates such as feed pumps, compressors for increasing pressure in pipelines or electrical actuators are fitted with a machinery protection system (VIBREX, VIBROTECTOR) and a multi-channel online system (VIBROWEB XP, VIBNODE). Laser measurement systems are used in the alignment of rotating machinery (ROTALIGN Ultra, OPTALIGN smart). Typical within this industry is the requirement that equipment be intrinsically safe. PRÜFTECHNIK takes this into consideration when developing its measurement systems and sensors, producing intrinsic safe versions for every product.
