Vibration analysis is a technology that determines the condition of rotating machinery by measuring its vibration at different locations and then analysing this data to locate defects. It is most often employed in routine surveys but is also an excellent tool for troubleshooting purposes. It is also frequently used for acceptance testing of new equipment.

Reliability Queensland offers vibration analysis services by highly skilled engineers in a wide range of applications.

Oil analysis provides insightfull information about the condition of your machinery and its lubricants by analysing the chemical composition of the lubricating oils and greases. This information can be leveraged to increase the efficiency of any lubrication or maintenace program.

Reliability Queensland offers oil analysis services ranging from sample collection to interpreting the test results and ultimately providing maintenance recommendations.

Infrared thermography is a very useful technology that can be utilised in electrical, mechanical, process and building applications to locate temperature differences that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. It is a particulary usefull technique to locate early electrical faults in  substations and MCC's.

Reliability Queensland offers infrared thermography services by experienced engineers utilising the latest thermographic equipment.

It is critical for rotating machinery to be accurately aligned to ensure reliable operation. Misaligned shafts will lead to premature bearing wear, fatigue or even catastrophic failure in severe cases. 

Reliability Queensland offers single and multi train precision shaft laser alignment services utilising modern laser alignment equipment to ensure accuracy and repeatability.

It is not uncommon for rotating machinery such as fans, pumps and rotors to become unbalanced during operation due to conditions such as wear or the loss of balance weights. A well balanced machine will significantly extend the life of the asset. 

Reliability Queensland offers field balancing services by skilled engineers on a variety of assets.

It is often necessary to install permanent condition monitoring hardware such as accelerometers and tachometers in hard to reach or hazardous areas to enable routine vibration data collection. 

Reliability Queensland can advise on the best hardware to use and provides a professional installation service ranging from simple vibration target installations to full online vibration monitoring solutions. 

Magnetic particle testing is a technique that utilises magnetic flux leakage to detect surface or shallow sub-surface discontinuities in ferrous metals. This method is widely used to detect cracking in a wide variety of applications such as welds, shafts, gears or steel structures to name a few.

Reliability Queensland offers magnetic particle testing by highly skilled engineers in a wide range of applications.

Ultrasonic testing is a non-intrusive technology that can locate internal discontinuities in a wide variety of meterials utilising ultrasonic sound waves. It is very usefull for locating defects in welding, cracking in shafts, corrosion in vessels, wear in piping and thickness testing to name a few.

Reliability Queensland offers ultrasonic testing by highly skilled engineers in a wide range of applications.

Nothing beats the sharp eye of a skilled engineer to locate and identify anomalies that could lead to untimely equipment failures.

 Reliability Queensland offers visual inspection services by highly skilled engineers in a wide range of applications to prevent unplanned downtime and ultimately result in significant cost savings.

Pressure equipment such as air receivers, accumulators and air/oil separators contains gasses and liquids under high pressure which poses a significant hazard if they should fail. It is therefore essential for these assets to be well maintained and to be inspected on a routine basis.

Reliability Queensland offers in-service inspection services of air receivers, accumulators and air/oil separators according to the requirements of AS3788-2006.
