Abstract
The present invention relates to a vibration monitoring device and methods for using the same. Specifically, the invention relates to a vibration monitoring device which may be utilized throughout a delayed coker unit operation to ascertain whether the cutting tool is boring, cutting or ramping mode.
Claims24
A device for monitoring the cutting tool in a delayed coker unit operation, comprising:
- a vibration sensor;
- and
- a computer system.
A vibration monitoring device, comprising:
- a housing;
- a transducer coupled at a position in a delayed coker unit operation, the transducer providing an output signal representative of the movement of a cutting tool;
- a Fast Fourier Transform which modifies, the output signal;
- and
- a display which indicates the operational status of the cutting tool.
A system for determining the Fast Fourier Transform wave pattern associated with the cutting, boring and ramping modes of a cutting tool inside a coke drum comprising:
- a vibration sensor generates data;
- a central processing unit which converts the data to a useable waveform;
- and
- a central processing unit which identifies whether a cutting tool is boring or cutting;
- and
- a display operatively connected to said central processing unit.
A method of determining status of a cutting tool in a delayed coker operation, comprising:
- mounting a transducer a position in a delayed coker unit operation to provide an output signal related to movement of the drill stem;
- processing the output signal;
- and
- determining whether the cutting tool is cutting or boring.
