COURSE OVERVIEW:

Vibration analysis serves as the most powerful diagnostic tool for assessing the health and longevity of rotating machinery. This course moves beyond basic data collection to explore the deep analytical techniques required to identify complex failure modes in pumps, motors, compressors, and turbines. It focuses on the physics of vibration and the mathematical processing of signals to provide participants with the ability to "see" inside machines without dismantling them.

The scope of this training includes the study of spectral analysis, time waveforms, and phase relationships as they pertain to industrial equipment. Participants will learn to distinguish between common issues like imbalance or misalignment and more subtle problems such as resonance, bearing defects, and electrical faults in motors. The program emphasizes a holistic approach to reliability, where vibration data is integrated with other condition monitoring techniques to provide a definitive diagnosis.

Coverage extends to the latest advancements in digital signal processing, wireless sensing technologies, and the application of Artificial Intelligence in predictive maintenance. By mastering these advanced diagnostics, participants will be able to prevent catastrophic failures, extend the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF), and significantly reduce maintenance costs. This course is a critical step for professionals seeking to achieve expert status in the field of rotating equipment reliability.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Analyze complex vibration spectra to identify specific machinery faults.
• Utilize time waveform analysis to diagnose impacts and transient events.
• Apply phase analysis to differentiate between misalignment and structural issues.
• Identify early-stage rolling element bearing defects using high-frequency alerts.
• Diagnose resonance problems and determine natural frequencies of structures.
• Evaluate the condition of gearboxes through specialized analysis techniques.
• Identify electrical faults in induction motors via vibration signatures.
• Perform advanced field balancing of rotating assemblies in situ.
• Utilize orbit analysis for the diagnosis of fluid film bearings in turbines.
• Establish alarm limits based on statistical analysis and ISO standards.
• Integrate vibration data with oil analysis and thermography findings.
• Develop professional diagnostic reports with clear maintenance recommendations.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Vibration Analysts, Reliability Engineers, Maintenance Engineers, Rotating Equipment Specialists, and Condition Monitoring Technicians who have a foundational understanding of vibration and wish to advance their diagnostic skills.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
