1 PdM-202: Vibration Analysis Level II Plus TM Abstract A primary goal of modern condition-based maintenance programs is to maximize machinery reliability. The success of these efforts is often monitored by tracking mean-time-betweenfailures (MTBF), production uptime, product quality, maintenance costs, etc. Unfortunately, many programs fail to achieve the highest level of effectiveness because too much time is spent on the detection, rather than the analysis and prevention of problems. A key component of extending machinery life is effective analysis of the root cause of machinery failure, and using this knowledge to prevent recurrence of the failure. Level II Plus TM This seminar aims to first qualify individuals to perform the vibration data collection and analysis tasks associated with ASNT vibration level II certification, and then certify them to ASNT level II. The result of this approach is that individuals who successfully complete the seminar will be qualified to perform level II vibration tasks, such as: 1. Set up a vibration instrument and acquire spectral, phase and time waveform data for analysis purposes for common machinery applications. 2. Analyze and make suggestions for resolving the common vibration problems. This seminar focuses on use of practical vibration analysis and correction techniques. Its goal is to equip the analyst with the tools required to perform such analysis. Using our unique Activity Based Training format, analysts do not just learn the concepts of analysis, but receive detailed information on how to implement these concepts as a part of an effective machinery reliability program. The seminar addresses how to develop existing predictive technologies and interact with those in management, production and other departments. Analysts learn how much more value can be obtained by utilizing all resources available to obtain root cause solutions. Whereas many training programs are available on general vibration analysis concepts, and others on specific instrument procedures, this seminar combines the two. It also addresses the subjects from the perspective of specific machine types and components which face the analyst on a daily basis. This seminar includes over thirty (30) guided hands-on activities, designed to maximize the retention of information. This unique approach better equips the analyst to apply the seminar content and to immediately solve problems upon returning to the plant. Page 1 of 7

2 Seminar Duration The standard duration of this seminar is 32 hours. Optional ASNT Level II certification is available subsequent to the seminar. Who should attend? This seminar is designed primarily for practitioners of vibration analysis whose job functions involve or relate to maximizing machinery reliability using current condition monitoring technologies. The scope of content is appropriate for those who collect vibration data, analyze machines, perform root cause failure analysis, or investigate and resolve premature machinery failure problems. A prerequisite is to have successfully completed Level I training. Associated Task(s) 1. Set up a vibration instrument and acquire spectral and phase data for analysis purposes for common machinery applications. 2.
