Abstract
Factory approval test (FAT) or shop run test is a unique opportunity to evaluate rotating machine performance before delivery to site. This paper presents a new signal processing method to evaluate vibration measurement during FAT or shop run test based on recorded noisy data. It is also a necessary step for machine reliability, fault diagnosis, future predictive maintenance and condition monitoring.
