COURSE OVERVIEW:

The fundamental meaning of this course is the application of vibration analysis as a non-destructive diagnostic tool to determine the health of rotating machinery. Every rotating asset generates a unique vibration signature; changes in this signature serve as an early warning system for mechanical degradation. This course focuses on translating complex wave patterns into actionable maintenance intelligence, allowing teams to identify specific faults like imbalance, misalignment, and bearing wear long before functional failure occurs.

The scope of this training involves the technical study of vibration characteristics, including frequency, amplitude, and phase. Participants will examine the different types of sensors—accelerometers, velocity transducers, and proximity probes—and learn where to mount them for maximum data integrity. The curriculum emphasizes the "P-to-F" interval, teaching maintenance teams how to use vibration data to extend the life of motors, pumps, fans, and compressors through precision corrective actions.

Coverage includes the use of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) spectrums to isolate individual component frequencies and the application of ISO 10816 standards for vibration severity. Attendees will explore "Route-Based" data collection and the role of online monitoring for critical "Tier 1" assets. By the end of this program, participants will be able to collect high-quality vibration data, identify common machine faults, and communicate technical findings to the planning department to prevent unplanned outages.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

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

• Define the core physical properties of vibration (Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration).
• Select the correct "Vibration Sensor" for various machine speeds and environments.
• Implement ISO 10816-3 standards to evaluate "Vibration Severity."
• Identify "Mass Imbalance" signatures in rotating assemblies.
• Detect "Angular and Offset Misalignment" using phase and spectrum analysis.
• Utilize "FFT Spectrums" to identify specific bearing defect frequencies.
• Diagnose "Mechanical Looseness" in machine foundations and housings.
• Detect "Bent Shafts" and "Resonance" issues in industrial fans and pumps.
• Establish "Vibration Baselines" and "Alarm Limits" for critical assets.
• Conduct "Route-Based" data collection with high repeatability.
• Interpret "Time-Waveform" data for impacting and intermittent faults.
• Integrate vibration findings into the site "Condition-Based Maintenance" (CBM) strategy.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is designed for Maintenance Technicians, Mechanical Engineers, Reliability Specialists, Pump Shop Supervisors, and Condition Monitoring Leads.

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.
