What is the definition of FMECA?
- A.
Fundamental Mechanical Effects Crisis Actions
- B.
Fully Mechanical Effective Critical Analysis
- C.
Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis
- D.
Functional Maintenance Evaluation Component Archives
Correct Answer
C. Failure Modes and Effects Criticality AnalysisExplanation
FMECA stands for Failure Modes and Effects Criticality Analysis. It is a systematic approach used to identify and prioritize potential failures in a system, product, or process. FMECA involves analyzing the various failure modes, their potential effects, and the criticality of those effects. By conducting FMECA, organizations can proactively identify and address potential failures, leading to improved reliability, safety, and performance.Rate this question:

Vibration Analysis works best when applied on?
- A.
Non-essential Support Assets
- B.
Critical Rotating Equipment
- C.
Vessels and Tanks
- D.
Pumps
Correct Answer
B. Critical Rotating EquipmentExplanation
Vibration Analysis is a technique used to detect and analyze vibrations in machinery and equipment. It is particularly effective when applied to critical rotating equipment. This is because rotating equipment, such as motors, pumps, and turbines, are prone to wear, misalignment, and imbalance, which can result in excessive vibrations. By monitoring and analyzing these vibrations, potential issues can be identified and addressed before they lead to equipment failure or downtime. Therefore, focusing on critical rotating equipment allows for proactive maintenance and ensures the reliability and performance of the machinery.Rate this question:
