Reliability Consulting for Gas Turbines

OEM nameplate data, the unit's failure and repair history from the CMMS, current operating conditions (load, speed, temperature), and lubricant type if applicable. The baseline measurement itself runs about 20 minutes per asset for a full Reliability Consulting reading. Without baseline data, the first three months of route trending serve as a baseline window — anomalies become detectable around month 4.

Yes. Reliability Consulting measurements use MTBF, MTTR, PM compliance, planner-to-craft ratio which capture at the bearing housing, terminal box, or sampling point without disrupting operation. The Gas Turbine Reliability & Maintenance stays online during the route. Only deep diagnostic work or repairs that follow from findings require taking the equipment offline.

Duty cycle is the second-biggest interval driver after asset criticality. Gas Turbines units running near rated capacity 24/7 should follow the tight end of the quarterly review cycles schedule. Equipment cycling on/off through the day generates additional fatigue per operating hour and may need even tighter monitoring. Standby units running occasionally can stretch the interval, but baseline runs are still needed to detect storage-related degradation.
