Category II BMV Training Course Overview
BMV prepares attendees to perform basic vibration analysis on industrial machinery using single-channel measurements, with or without trigger signals, according to established and recognized procedures.
It covers the basics of sensors, database and data collector setup, data collection, signal processing, fault analysis, and basics of single-plane balancing.
It is partial preparation for the Vibration Analysist Category II Certification Exam. The workshops and demonstrations scheduled throughout the training course are used to illustrate theory and applications.
Category II BMV training and workshop content includes:
Basic Machinery Vibrations
Units, properties, measurements, motions, time, excitation, critical speeds, frequency and amplitude
Data Acquisitions
Selecting a measure, transducers, frequency spans, data displays, and calibration
Data Processing
Instruments, sampling, aliasing, windows, dynamic range, averaging, analyzer set up, and filters
Fault Diagnostics
Techniques, operating speed, rolling element bearings, gearboxes, motors, pumps, fans and compressors
Condition Evaluation
Shaft vibration, bearing vibration, casing vibration, historical data base, charts and graphs
Machine Testing
Equipment, site inspection, acceptance testing, baseline development, transient testing, presentation of data and reports
Periodic Monitoring
Listing assets, categorizing priorities, route selections, measurement points, frequency of data collection, reporting of results
Single Plane Balancing
Types of unbalance, balancing equipment, pre-balancing checks, measurements, trial weights, vector method, and balancing solution.
IMPORTANT:
It is recommended that attendees review the Body of Knowledge found in ISO 18436-2 Annex A, prior to the course
All registered attendees will receive:
- Course Training Manual
- Printed Copy of Course PowerPoints
- Workbook with examples, vibration related questions requiring a solution and 18436-2 Annex A from the Body of Knowledge
