Vibration Analysis Level Two
Basic vibration monitoring detects that something is wrong; diagnosis requires reading the spectrum properly. This course covers spectral analysis, phase measurement and distinguishing faults that look alike on a trend.
Course outline
What this programme covers, module by module.

- 04Rolling element bearing fault stages and frequencies
- 05Gear faults and their spectral signatures
- 06Resonance, natural frequency and structural issues
- 07Diagnosis, reporting and recommending corrective action

Planned Preventive Maintenance
Reactive maintenance is the most expensive way to keep plant running. This course covers the design and running of a preventive maintenance programme: what to maintain, how often, and how to prove the programme is working.
Reliability Centred Maintenance
Reliability centred maintenance asks what each asset must do and what happens when it cannot, then selects maintenance accordingly. This course teaches the analysis method and how to apply it without drowning in paperwork.
Root Cause Failure Analysis
Equipment that fails repeatedly is usually being repaired rather than fixed. This course builds the investigative discipline to trace a failure to its physical, human and system roots and to implement corrections that hold.
