Rotating Equipment and Performance Monitoring Course
Introduction:
Course Objectives:
Upon the successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:‐
· Apply and gain a comprehensive understanding of alignment
· Identify the importance of proper shaft alignment and identify the symptoms of misalignment
· Discuss the foundations, baseplate and piping effects and enumerate various types of couplings, flexible and rigid couplings
· Identify alignment and coupling tolerances and perform the preliminary alignment checks
· Enumerate the different alignment methods(dial indicator and laser ) and state the advantages of each alignment method.
· Apply alignment procedures, analyze mathematical relationships and perform alignment calculations and graphics.
· Carry out adjustments for thermal growth, “hot” alignment vs “cold” alignment and moving machinery in the field
· Evaluate alignment considerations for specific equipment such as; electric motors,
· pumps, gearboxes, compressors, cooling towers, blowers & fans & internal combustion engines
· Prevent misalignment severity and vibrations caused by misalignment.
Who Should Attend?
The training program is designed and targeted to inspection & technical support engineers & supervisors and technicians who are dealing with the operation and maintenance of rotating equipment and who are running alignment and wish to improve their knowledge and skills
