This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of API 670: Machinery Protection Systems. It covers the purpose and scope of API 670 and the key components and systems in machinery protection; the basic principles of vibration monitoring, types of vibration sensors, signal processing for vibration analysis and common causes of excessive vibration; the importance of temperature monitoring and types of temperature sensors used in protection systems; and the pressure and flow monitoring, displacement and proximity sensing including machinery protection system (MPS) architecture. Further, the course will also discuss the detailed vibration analysis techniques and transient vibration analysis; integrating vibration data with other monitoring systems; the signal conditioning and data processing for vibration systems using filtering and noise reduction techniques; the signal amplification and conversion methods including data storage and retrieval in vibration monitoring systems; the common machinery types, configurations machinery and challenges in turbomachinery monitoring; the role of hydraulic and pneumatic controls in machinery; monitoring hydraulic oil condition and flowing; troubleshooting pneumatic systems in machinery; the trip systems and design considerations for API 670 compliant systems; and the root cause analysis (RCA) in machinery protection.
