What is meant by GAP VOLTAGE, in vibration measurement.
Normally how much GAP VOLTAGE is set and state the reason.
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Gap voltage of Bently Nevada vibration probe is usually set at -10V. Reason for setting at -10 volt is as we know, proximitor allows probe to work -2 volt to -18 volt. So voltage difference of 2 to 10 and 10 to 18 is 8 volt. When setting at -10 volt, probe can equally measures vibration at both sides(I mean when shaft is going away from probe or towards probe).
Suppose we adjust probe at -9 volt. Probe can detect vibration?
Yes, it can can detect vibration but its one side will be margin of 7 volt and other side margin of 11 volt. At 11 volt margin, probe will detect vibration excellent but at other side,7 volt side, it has limitation, when more vibration it may not detect.
(Old system, when proximitor supply was 18 volt, setting were at -8 volt, now such proximitor almost obsoleted)

gape voltage is set 10v.if sensor is old that time we adjust
at 8 -10v.in this case also we adjust the gape between sensor
and target it is mostly 1mm to 0.9mm.

Answer / bubun
The voltage proportional to the gap between proxy and the target material is gap voltage.generally 0 to 10 V dc.

Dear friends, I have a question: We work on a project which has some boilers to provide steam for desalination unit. The boiler area is safe and the only hazard source is the fuel lines of boilers. I want to know according to NFPA standard which type of instrument should be selected on the fuel line: Eex Type or Non-Eex type? Thanks in advance
