Vibration Analysis Category 2

COURSE SUMMARY

Vibration Analysis Category 2 is the perfect next step if you have been performing vibration analysis for more than twelve months and already have a good understanding of the fundamentals, and now want to become more confident and accurate in their diagnoses and reporting.

By completing this course you will understand how to set up an analyser for routine data collection, take accurate measurements, be capable of diagnosing a range of fault conditions and be confident in validating their test results per applicable specifications and standards.

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

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Be able to select the appropriate machinery vibration measurement technique
Know how to set up instruments for basic resolution of amplitude, frequency, and time
