GATHERING OF INFORMATION FOR USE IN CONDITION-MONITORING DATABASE

Based on our work in a project called "Technical Condition" in a research 
program called "PROSMAT 2000" - supported by the Research Council of Norway - we 
are trying to chart the usage of commerical "Condition Monitoring systems" 
for use in industry. See attachment for further description of the project.
We are looking for suppliers of commercially used "Condition Monitoring-
/inspection"-systems within all branches.

We kindly request the following information from Your company:

1)   Cataloges/brochures  on your "Condition  Monitoring-/inspection"-systems.
            We would like to have:
     -    a technical description of the system
     -    principles of the monitoring methodes
     -    list of references of deliveries

2)   The name of a contact person, if we should need more specific 
information about the system.

3)   If possible, references to earlier projects, litterature supporting 
the use of these systems etc.

The objective of the project "TC" is to develop a tool for use in 
determintion of long term maintenance and operation planning for the  industry. By long term 
we mean a period of up to 5 - 10 years. To obtain this, it is crucial to be able to 
measure the technical condition of the plant. 
One of several activities is therefore the charting of todays (and 
tomorrows) commercial monitoring-/inspection-systems available. Information about 
these condition monitoring-/inspection-systems, and who their suppliers are, 
will be inserted into this database, and will be available for norweegean and 
international industries. The database will, among other, give the industry a summary 
of CM-systems which exists, and their purpose.
The project consits of multiple professions and is supposed to cover all 
aspects of the industri, herein machinery, electric and static equipment, 
instrumentation and structures (piping etc.).

The "Technical Condition"-project  is meant to last for 4 years and has a 
budget of approximately 6,5 mill USD. The following companies are participating in 
the project:

-    Elkem                         (engineering company)
-    Forsmark Kraftgrupp AB             (powerplant)
-    Kværner                       (engineering company)
-    Statoil                            (oil/gas company)
-    NTNU - Norweegean Institute of Technology        (university)
-    Marintek / Sintef-group            (research group)

We hope that Your company will be able to answere this inquiry. Do not 
hesitate to contact us if you require further information.
