Improving Equipment Reliability Utilizing Digital Image Correlation Photogrammetry

A large refinery in Canada’s tar sands, experienced 9 mechanical seal failures in 3 months on their critical service vacuum bottom pumps. The standard FEA analysis, was unable to conclusively resolve the observed failure modes. However, additional optical field measurements, using TRITOP Photogrammetry and ARAMIS Digital Image Correlation Photogrammetr...
