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. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of vibration analysis in accordance with ISO 18436 standards. It covers the maintenance practices and condition monitoring technologies; the principles of vibration covering complete review of basics, waveform, spectrum (FFT), phase, orbits, modulation, beating and sum/differences signals; the data acquisition, transducer types, transducer selection, transducer mounting and natural frequency; and the transducer mounting, natural frequency, measurement point selection, following route and test planning. Further, the course will also discuss the common measurement errors; the signal processing, filters, sampling, aliasing, dynamic range, resolution, Fmax and data collection time; the linear, overlap, peak hold, time synchronous, windowing and leakage averaging; windowing and leakage; the vibration analysis, spectrum analysis, time waveform analysis, orbit analysis, phase analysis and enveloping (demodulation); and the fault analysis for natural frequencies, resonances, imbalance, eccentricity, bent shaft, misalignment and cocked bearing.During this interactive course, participants will learn the soft foot and mechanical looseness; the rolling element bearing analysis including analysis of induction motors, gears, belt driven machines, pumps, compressors and fans; the equipment testing and diagnostics covering impact testing (bump tests) and phase analysis; the corrective action, general maintenance repair activities and review of balancing process and shaft alignment procedures; running a successful condition monitoring program by setting baselines, alarms, setting goals, expectations, report generation and reporting success stories; and the acceptance testing and ISO standards.
