In the oil and gas sector, equipment failure is not only costly but dangerous. The remote nature of many sites, the scale of operations, and the potential risks to personnel and the environment all make predictive maintenance essential.
That’s where vibration sensors come in. By detecting early signs of mechanical wear or imbalance, these sensors allow teams to take corrective action before issues lead to critical failure. The result is fewer unplanned outages, extended equipment life, and greater operational efficiency.
What Our Sensors Monitor
Monitran’s vibration sensors are used to monitor a wide range of assets vital to oil and gas operations, including:
- Gearboxes
- Pumps and compressors
- Heat exchangers
- Generators
- Motors
- Crane bearings and lifting systems
Whether onshore or offshore, upstream or downstream, we help our customers keep these key assets running safely and efficiently.
Benefits of Vibration Monitoring
Installing vibration sensors brings measurable advantages:
- Fewer unscheduled outages – detect faults before they escalate
- Lower maintenance costs – plan interventions rather than reacting to breakdowns
- Improved safety – identify problems early to reduce risks to personnel
- Higher productivity – keep equipment running at optimal performance level
By monitoring vibration levels in real time or through periodic checks, operators can make data-driven decisions that reduce risk and increase profitability.
Built for Harsh Environments
Our sensors are built to handle the demanding conditions of the oil and gas industry. Housed in stainless steel and sealed to resist moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures, they provide reliable performance in even the toughest environments.
We offer:
- Accelerometers and velocity sensors for permanent installation
- Handheld vibration meters for mobile inspections and spot checks
- Condition monitoring systems for continuous oversight across multiple assets
