VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF TURBO MACHINERY

FOUR DAYS | R19 500 PER DELEGATE (Excl. VAT)

Gain a better understanding to the world of Machinery Vibration Diagnostics in machines with flexible rotors!

This course will help you understand the fundamentals of Synchronous Rotor Response, how to correctly measure this rotor behaviour and how to interpret this behaviour in relation to the health of your machine. These topics are illustrated by means of extensive theoretical lectures, pratical demonstrations and hand-on sessions. Theory is put into practice with real wolrd case studies of machinery fault conditions.

A minimum of 6 registered attendees are required for the course to proceed.
