COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course provides a thorough review of a wide variety of causes of piping vibration from the point of view of an engineer that must identify the cause of vibration, determine if vibration is excessive, and correct the problem if it is. It provides a background on fundamental causes of piping vibration and how to identify source of vibration, rules of thumb and simplified methods for evaluating vibration severity, and methods of treatment. 

 

A wide variety of causes of vibration are covered in order to enable the course participant to properly evaluate the variety of piping vibration problems that can occur in piping systems. The causes of vibration, where possible, are discussed with respect to very basic energy and momentum principles that enable the participant to understand what is happening within and to the piping system. Screening and simple vibration limits are provided. 

Many actual examples of typical plant piping vibration problems that the course instructor has solved are reviewed to illustrate the concepts covered. In addition, participants are encouraged to bring examples of troublesome vibration problems they have experienced or are experiencing in their plants for class discussion.
