Vibration Condition Monitoring & Analysis Training Course - Level 1

Training Course description

Our Vibration Analysis Level 1 training course is run over four days and contains an optimum balance of theoretical study and practical exercises, and using our own SpectrumPDA data collector as well as other industry standard collectors.

Objectives

This BINDT training course objective is to update the attendees with all the latest techniques for condition monitoring.

For whom intended

A combination of attendance at this training course followed by 6 months of practrical application will enable students to sit the BINDT PCN CM Gen App D – Vibration Analysis Level 1 examination, for which the training course is accredited.

Training Course Outline

Day 1
Introduction to Condition Monitoring
What is condition based maintenance (CBM), Condition monitoring techniques including: Human Senses, Performance Monitoring, Corrosion Monitoring, Thermal Monitoring, Oil Analysis & Wear Debris Monitoring, Current Monitoring, Vibration Monitoring, Acoustic Emission, Ultrasonic Monitoring. Fault diagnosis. Selecting techniques.

Introduction to Vibration Monitoring
Setting up a Vibration Condition Monitoring Program, Equipment Audit, Identifying measurement points. Choosing appropriate technique, Overall & Spectral monitoring. On-line or portable systems, Cost comparison of VM, program set-up, asset types, practical data collection & reporting.

Vibration Severity Measurement
Using overall vibration, vibration limit zones, broadband vibration bandwidth, alert levels, typical severity guidelines, recording overall vibration, using overall vibration for fault finding, trending overall vibration.

Practical Vibration Measurement

Day 2

Vibration Data Acquisition
Covers types of instrumentation, permanently installed & portable systems. Transducers including accelerometers, velocity sensors, displacement transducers. How to mount transducers and gives a selection of example schematics with appropriate measurement points.
Task 1: Identifying Machine Components
Task 2: Allocating Measurement Points

Principles of Vibration Analysis
Vibration Units & Descriptors, Basic Motion, Time and Frequency Domains, Frequency and Amplitude, Phase Relationships, Typical Spectra, Vibration Mixtures, Quantifying the Vibration

Vibration Spectral Analysis
32 actual vibration spectra with brief details about the equipment. The examples show key frequencies, shape of peaks, harmonics, relative amplitude

Practical Vibration Measurement

Day 3

Vibration Standards
Benefits of Standardisation. ISO Development Stages, History of Standardisation. ISO TC108 – Mechanical Vibration & Shock, Sub-Committees & Working Groups TC108/SC2, TC108/SC5 Working Group 7 & the Development of ISO 10816 & ISO 7919 series including Vibration Monitoring Accreditation

Introduction to Structural Resonances
Identifying Resonance, Hammer Test, Self Excitation, Exciter Testing. Reducing Resonance - Effects of Frequency, Stiffness, Mass, Damping, Isolation

Vibration Analysis & Fault Finding
Diagnostics & Fault Finding. Vibration Monitoring Fault Finding Process. Typical Maintenance Actions. FFT Range & Resolution. Bearing Faults

Practical Data Collection

Day 4

Recognition of Poor Data
Takes real examples of measurements with faults. Discusses main reasons for bad or poor readings.

Vibration Monitoring Survey
Good reporting ensures the management and decision process is effective. A typical structure of a routine vibration monitoring survey report is shown

Introduction to Balancing
Effects of Unbalance, Types of Rotor, Causes of Unbalance, types of Unbalance - Static, Couple, Quasi-static, Dynamic. When to Balance. Balancing Methods. Quantifying Unbalance, Unbalance and Eccentricity, Balance Quality.

Course Review
Training Examination (Examination, multi choice questions)

Text Materials

Soft copies of all materials provided at the end of the sessions.
