Advanced Vibration Analysis/Category III Compliant

Course Number: 2033

Length: 4 days

Cost: $2,830.00

Synopsis

This course complies with Category III Vibration Analyst per ISO standard 18436-2: Vibration condition monitoring and diagnostics. This course expands on the subjects covered in the Intermediate Vibration course (Category II), especially in the areas of fault analysis and corrective actions. The class details advanced analysis techniques. The dual channel machinery health analyzer features are introduced including the use of AMS™ Suite: Machinery Health Manager Software to set up the advanced analyzer features and the powerful downloadable programs for data collection. The transient machinery health analyzer capabilities are covered such as long-term time waveform. The class covers advanced resonance detection using a variety of testing methods, including triggered data collection.

Topics

• Specify appropriate vibration instrumentation hardware and software for both portable and permanently installed systems
• Perform spectrum and time waveform analysis under both steady-state and unsteady operating conditions
• Establish vibration monitoring programs
• Establish specifications for vibration levels and acceptance criteria for new machinery
• Measure and analyze basic operational deflection shapes (ODS)
• Understand and direct the use of other condition monitoring technologies (such as ultrasonics, infrared thermography, and oil analysis)
• Measure and analyze PeakVue® measurements
• Prepare and submit machinery condition reports
• Provide instruction and technical direction to vibration trainees
• Slow Speed Technology (SST®)
• Zoom Analysis
• Transient Techniques
