Measure the effects of pipe strain on shaft alignment with OPTALIGN SMART’s Pipe Strain Wizard. This program checks for strain from external sources acting on machines. The measured values are quantified in terms of offset and angularity. The vector values are combined for both vertical and horizontal directions. This check can prove the existence of pipe strain on a pump or conduit strain on a motor. External stress on a machine frame usually results in machine frame distortion. Therefore, it is imperative to ascertain its existence and eliminate it. Measurement files can be saved or printed in PDF format directly from the alignment tool.
