Description
Our 3-day Vibration Analyst - Level 1 seminar
combines lecture and workshop activities to provide attendees with
experience in identifying, diagnosing and correcting the fundamental
machinery problems most commonly encountered during plant operation.
Training
materials focus on understanding
the rotor dynamic activity accompanying each failure mode. Workshops provide
attendees immediate practice on the presented diagnostic topics using either
machinery simulator kits or historical machinery data.
Prior to taking this course, attendees should
have a general familiarity with vibration theory, and have had some
experience operating
portable
data collector systems and/or diagnostic equipment. This course is
appropriate for predictive maintenance, reliability and rotating machinery
personnel, as well as engineering and plant staff that manage plant
machinery.
This course does
not
focus on particular hardware or software offerings. It teaches concepts
applicable to diagnostic systems and portable data collectors, and helps
highlights relevant analysis limitations. The course content
follows ISO 18436.2:2002 Category
I and American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) “Recommended
Training for Level I Vibration Analysis” SNT-TC-1A:2001 Level I training,
and is supplemented with specific materials as required to meet customer
needs.
We offer an optional Level 1 certification examination in
the morning following the last day of each seminar.
