Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. Category I is the ideal starting place for new vibration analysts, those who are collecting data and those who want a better understanding of vibration analysis and condition monitoring. Participants will have a solid understanding of why we monitor the condition of rotating machinery and other critical assets, the importance of improved reliability and how vibration can be successfully measured and analyzed to provide an early warning of a wide range of fault conditions. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of ISO Vibration Diagnostics Level I in accordance with ISO 18436-2. It covers the maintenance practices and condition monitoring; the principles of vibration, vibration measurement, time waveform, spectrum and forcing frequencies; the different vibration units including phase and data acquisition; the measurement of vibration; the axial and radial readings; the sensor mounting and surface preparation; the naming of conventions; the vibration analysis and spectrum analysis process; and the resonance, diagnosing of common fault conditions and setting alarm limits.
