Course Description
This course for industry aims to convey the latest thinking and best practice of machinery vibration monitoring and analysis via lectures, case studies, video films and program activities. The course gives a detailed advanced treatment of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults in rotating and reciprocating machinery, using vibration analysis. Industrial case study examples are used throughout the course to emphasize key points and to underline the relevance and applicability of the topics being addressed.
The Training Course Will Highlight ?
This is an intensive course providing a comprehensive understanding of rotating equipment failures and reliability. Condition monitoring techniques are discussed and evaluated. Scenarios involving common rotating equipment reliability issues: rotors, journal bearings and vibration, thrust bearings, balance drums, pump mechanical seals, compressor seals (liquid and dry gas) and auxiliary systems are presented. The material of the course is applicable to all oil and gas field production facilities, refineries, pipelines, gas plants, marine applications and offshore systems.
