MOBIUS INSTITUTE VIBRATION ANALYSIS CAT III
PT. Putranata Adi Mandiri provides training Advanced Vibration Analyst Training & Certification
Mobius Institute is ISO/IEC 17024 and ISO 18436-1 accredited, meaning that you are assured that your certification meets the highest global standards, and our training teaches you everything you need to know according to the ISO 18436 standard for vibration analyst training. There is no more highly regarded training & certification available.
CAT-III Course Overview
The Category-III course covers four days, with an additional day for review and the exam, is intended for people who are confident with spectrum analysis but who wish to push on and learn more about signal processing, time waveform and phase analysis, cross-channel testing, machine dynamics, and fault correction. If you wish to truly advance in vibration analysis and be able to run a successful condition monitoring team, then you are ready for this course. The course exceeds the ISO 18436-2 Category III standard and meets the ASNT Level III Recommended Practice.
You will learn to diagnose all of the common faults conditions with rolling element and sleeve bearing machines, by utilizing time waveforms, phase readings and other techniques to diagnose faults. You will also learn machine dynamics (natural frequencies, resonance, etc.) and how to perform resonance testing and correct resonance problems. The course also covers single and cross-channel measurement capabilities of your analyzer. And after completing the CAT-III course, you will be able to set and run a successful vibration program, and mentor the junior analysts.
You will leave the course with a solid understanding of:
- How a well-designed program and the RCM approach will improve the OEE and the bottom line
- The condition monitoring technologies – via supplementary training
- How to select the correct measurement location and axis, and collect good, repeatable measurements
- What the Fmax, resolution, averaging and other singlechannel and cross-channel analyzer settings mean, and how to select the optimum settings
- How to analyze vibration spectra, time waveform, envelope, and phase measurements
- How to diagnose a wide range of fault conditions
- How mass, stiffness and damping affects the natural frequency of a structure
- How to use phase readings, bump tests, impact tests, negative averaging, peak-hold averaging, transient, ODS, modal analysis to determine natural frequencies and visualize machine movement
- How to balance and align a machine, correct a resonance conditions, and employ isolation.
