Vibration Analysis Category 1

COURSE SUMMARY

Our Vibration Analysis Category 1 course is ideal if you are new to vibration monitoring and analysis want to learn the fundamentals to perform a range of simple single-channel machinery vibration condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines activities.

By completing this course you will have a good understanding of how to collect accurate vibration measurements, recognise common vibration characteristics produced by basic machine faults, have a good awareness of key international standards covering vibration condition monitoring, and be able to report on visual observations of equipment conditions.

This course is based on the ISO 18436-2 certification program for Vibration Analysis Category 1. The course runs over four days with an additional half day for review and an optional BINDT PCN certification exam.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Know the basic principles of vibration and recognise the different units of measurement
Be able to collect reliable data, ensuring appropriate standards of repeatability
Be able to identify errors in collected data
Know how to retrieve predefined measurement settings for use with vibration analysis equipment and transfer data from an analysis system to a computer-based system
Be capable of comparing overall or single value vibration measurements against pre-established alert settings
Be able to Identify deviations from the norm for single-value vibration values and trends
Be able to report on visual observations of equipment condition
