This pump training seminar covers modern vibration analysis, testing and evaluation, and provides an overview of when and how to apply them.
Course Topics Include:
- Review of Pump Components and Mechanical/Hydraulic Behavior
- Calculation of Vibration
- Natural Frequencies and Mode Shapes, by Hand or by Finite Elements
- Amount of Vibration for a Given Level of Force (e.g., Imbalance)
- Rotor Dynamic Effects, Including Bearings, Seals and Gyroscopics
- Rotor Dynamic Instability
- Techniques for Measurement of Vibration
- Types of Probes and Their Selection
- Best Measurement Locations and DirectionsUse of FFT Analyzers
- Test Results in Terms of Operating Deflection Shapes
- Finding Resonances by Impact Modal (“Bump”) Testing
- Interpretation of Vibration
- Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration, Filtered vs. Unfiltered
- Vibration Specs, e.g. API 610, ISO 7919 and Hydraulic Institute
- Effects of Hydraulic Forces vs. Mechanical Forces
- How to Determine the Degree of Danger from Resonance
- Predictive Maintenance Using Vibration
- Interpretation of FTT Spectra
- What Natural Frequency Shifts Can Mean
- Integration with Performance, Oil Monitoring and Thermography
