Need for speed

Understanding vibration for high-speed rotating machinery diagnostics

Wednesday, 11 March One hour. Two time slots.

Limited number of spots Reserve yours now!

Proximity probe measurements of rotor vibration provide vast insight into the health of rotating machinery. 

However, it can be difficult to determine the right inspection or remedial plans based on vibration data alone. Rotordynamic plots can be complex, and characteristics can often be explained by more than one theory or cause. 

This one-hour online training will present the basics of rotor vibration measurement analysis. 

Impeller vibration

We will apply concepts from rotordynamics to explain field measurements, provide examples of field data to demonstrate fault types and present a case study to interpret centrifugal compressor vibration data using a rotordynamic model.

You’ll learn how to:

Understand bode, orbit and polar plots

Identify common characteristics and faults

Vibration

Interpret vibration data measured on centrifugal compressors

Who should attend

This training course is relevant to machinery engineers, operators, and managers and technicians responsible for the maintenance and reliability of rotating assets


Certificate

A certificate of completion that may be submitted for professional development hour (PDH) credits* will be provided upon request at the end of the session (see feedback survey).  

The session will take about 60 minutes

*This webinar is intended to assist participants in retaining and expanding their knowledge base. Wood will provide a certificate for attending the live webinar if requested at the end of the session. Acceptance as development credits is at the discretion of the organisation that receives the submittal.
