VCAT-1 Vibration Analysis ISO18436-3
This course is essential for new vibration analysts, people collecting vibration data, and those who want a better understanding of vibration analysis and condition monitoring.
Description
The VCAT-1 Vibration Analysis course, is the ideal starting place for new vibration analysts, people collecting vibration data, and those who want a better understanding of vibration analysis and condition monitoring.
You will come away with a solid understanding of why we monitor the condition of rotating machinery and other critical assets, the importance of improved reliability, and how vibration can be successfully measured and analyzed to provide an early warning of a wide range of fault conditions. You will not come away as an expert; that is what the more advanced courses are for.
You will know enough to make a valuable contribution to an existing program; be in a position to start a new program; determine if you should implement a program at your site; or better understand the program that exists in your plant.
You will learn:
- About condition monitoring, including a summary of the most common technologies
- About reliability improvement
- How vibration analysis plays a key role in reliability improvement
- About how machines work via the supplementary self-study “equipment knowledge” section of the manual
- About the fundamentals of vibration: waveforms, spectra, and simple metrics (overall levels, RMS, peak, peak to peak, and crest factor)
- How to take dependable, repeatable, high-quality vibration readings
- About vibration sensors, and how and where to mount them
- The basics of the analysis process, primarily with vibration spectra
- The basics of the key analyzer settings: fmax, resolution, and averaging
- The basics of setting alarm limits
- About the common “failure modes” of machines and how to detect them, including rolling element bearing faults, unbalance, misalignment, looseness, and resonance.
