Abstract
Example systems and methods for pipe strain detection and diagnosis using sensors for machine casing nozzles are disclosed. One example method includes introducing a rotating machine that includes a rotating element, a machine casing, an inlet nozzle, and an outlet nozzle, where the rotating element is configured to pump a fluid into the inlet nozzle through a first pipe and out of the outlet nozzle through a second pipe. A vibration sensor is attached to a nozzle flange connection of one of the inlet nozzle and the outlet nozzle, where the vibration sensor includes a substrate and a resonant layer disposed on a surface of the substrate, the resonant layer is configured to produce a resonant response in response to receiving a radio frequency signal while the fluid is being pumped. The resonant response is received by a radio frequency resonance detector in response to the radio frequency signal.
