Course Description

The Basic Vibration Analyst - ISO 18436 Category I training has been designed for predictive maintenance based in vibration inspectors in order to follow recommended procedures for vibration data collection.

This course focuses on periodic, single channel data collection and analysis for condition based maintenance programs. A foundation is established for in-depth understanding of spectrum and waveform relationships. 

This 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. Participants will come away from this course with a very good understanding of the fundamentals; will understand how to take good measurements; understand the importance of repeatability; and will be ready to begin analyzing vibration spectra.

Course Objectives

Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:

  • Understand the condition monitoring technologies: acoustic emission, infrared analysis (thermography), oil analysis, wear particle analysis, motor testing
  • Describe the benefits of performing condition monitoring and improving reliability
  • Study working of machines
  • Discuss how vibration measurements can tell you about the condition of the machine
  • Learn  to collect good, repeatable measurements
  • Understand vibration analysis & vibration transducers
  • Analyze vibration spectra, and the basics of fault diagnosis: unbalance, misalignment, looseness, rolling element bearings faults, resonance, and other conditions
  • Get introduced to setting alarm limits
  • Discuss environmental effects

Who Should Attend?

This highly extensive 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. The course exceeds the ISO 18436-2 Category I standard and meets the ASNT Level I Recommended Practice.
