Abstract

Disclosed is a rotating machinery diagnosis system with an AE technique, which comprises: an AE sensor mounted on a rotary machine for sensing an acoustic signal of the rotary machine; envelope detector means for obtaining an envelope signal from the acoustic signal from the AE sensor; waveform-feature processor means for performing signal processing so as to detect a feature of waveform of an output waveform signal from the envelope detector means; feature decision means for judging whether the feature of waveform belongs to a continuous type or a burst type and/or to a rotation-synchronous type or a rotation-asynchronous type on the basis of an output signal from the waveform-feature processor means; and diagnostic output means for outputting and displaying an output signal from the feature decision means, whereby it is possible to perform judgement simultaneously as to a plurality of kinds of abnormality.
