Design permit and isolation controls covering the work involved in vibration monitoring and diagnosis.
Vibration Monitoring Techniques for Diagnosing Rotating Equipment Faults
Build a working method for vibration monitoring and diagnosis that stands up to scrutiny and survives daily pressure.
Course Overview
Deferred maintenance and deferred decisions on vibration monitoring and diagnosis both accrue interest. Price volatility does not excuse weak discipline in monitoring and diagnosis — it punishes it. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a operating procedure for this part of energy and hydrocarbon operations as they go. The content is relevant to those who own vibration monitoring and diagnosis and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the energy and hydrocarbon operations discipline. This programme builds monitoring and diagnosis from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Where vibration monitoring and diagnosis is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Progress on monitoring and diagnosis is usually lost in the gap between approval and execution. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the practice within energy and hydrocarbon operations rather than a set of notes.
Expected Learning Outcomes
