The Practical Application of Vibration Theory
seminar is unique in it's delivery and content because it focuses
on the practical application of vibration theory. It encourages
delegates to develop the logical thought processes that is necessary
for them to become a proficient analyst. The seminar goes beyond
the theory by using real life case histories to both entertain
and educate the delegates in an extremely effective learning environment.
After a brief, one day review of vibration topics, the delegates
are sorted into teams and are then given a series of case histories
which they have to solve within a certain time. This approach
fosters teamwork and creates friendly competition in which the
delegates must learn to analyse data and sort out the relevant
from the not-so-relevant, creating a unique learning experience.
Day
1 - Introduction
Objective and rules.
Core subjects.
Spectrum resolution and its importance.
Bearing defects and ESP spectra.
Frequency confirmation and its importance.
Strobe uses - slow motion study and speed checks.
Phase with demo - importance to confirming unbalance and misalignment.
Background Vibration checks and looseness with phase and amplitude
checks.
Resonance and bump tests.
Electrical problems detectable through vibration analysis.
Days
2, 3 & 4
Case history analysis format, rules and scoring.
Case
Histories
The case histories are drawn from a wide variety of machines, environments
and industries ranging from huge cement plant raw mills to reciprocating
and centrifugal comressors to typical horizontal centrifugal pumps
and fans. They are carefully selected and each hasa lesson behind
it.
Sample Problem - (AC units).
Case History 1 - (Hammer Mill)
Case history 2 - (Cooling Tower Fan) - Sets 1 & 2.
Case History 3 - (P-615B) - Sets 1 & 2.
Case History 4 - (K2 ID fan).
Case History 5 - (Centac Compressor).
Case History 6 - (P602) - Sets 1 & 2.
Case History 7 - (Unload Compressor).
Case History 8 - (Cooling Water Pump).
Case History 9 - (Raw Mill Drive) - Sets 1 & 2.
Following
each case history, there will be a class discussion of the issues
involved, the methods used by the individual teams and a discussion
of the actual problem as set by the tutors.
Prerequisites
It is strongly recommended that completion of the introduction to
Vibration Technology course or similar experience is gained prior
to the course. Attendance of our Vibration Analysis I seminar is
recommended. Emonitor™ Odyssey software will be used for the analysis,
however, no prior software training is required.
