Condition monitoring has evolved as a significant opportunity to increase profits within a wide variety of industries. Vibration Analysis is one of the most powerful condition-based maintenance technologies, and the cornerstone of many predictive maintenance programs. It is also widely utilized for troubleshooting and fault diagnosis of machinery and structures. In recent years, much emphasis has been given to on-line or permanently installed vibration monitoring for machinery that is inaccessible, critical to process, and/or very expensive.
This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of ISO Vibration Level III in accordance with ISO 18436. It covers the condition monitoring and ISO standards; the signal processing, data acquisition, time waveform analysis and phase analysis; the natural frequencies and resonance; testing for natural frequencies, operating deflection shape (ODS) analysis and modal analysis; the FEA and correcting resonances; the journal and rolling element bearing fault detection and electric motor testing; the pumps, fans and compressors; the gearbox fault detection and corrective action; running a successful CM program; and the acceptance testing and ISO standards.
