Rotating
Equipment is process equipment, such as pumps, motors, turbines and fans, the
function of which is based on rotational motion. Such equipment, which makes up
the largest contingent of hardware is particularly susceptible to component
wear and consequently, constitutes perhaps the primary maintenance issue. As
monitoring the condition of critical plant and machinery continues to be at the
center of implementing effective maintenance strategies, prompt and informed
decision-making is crucial to avoid costly down time and successfully manage
risk. Effective lubrication and tribology techniques play a vital role in
increasing profitability and durability of the machine A crucial part of
rotating equipment maintenance and integrity is rotating equipment analysis.
Rotating equipment analysis is another vibration monitoring tool used to
assess the general mechanical health of rotating and reciprocating machinery.
Waterfall plots and order tracking are commonly used to quantify operational
characteristics and the critical speed of rotating machinery. Frequency
response testing is used to determine the machine's structural characteristics.
Maintenance
professionals need to be aware of all the ways that rotating equipment can
fail. The failure mechanisms such as corrosion, erosion and wear, can take a
long time to cause problems. Age related failures require maintenance
professionals to look for evidence of them as the equipment is used and monitor
changes in selected parameters. These parameters include thickness, weight,
length, depth, colour, odour, etc. They reflect the changes that occur as a
part is used or ‘ages’ Organisations today are continually striving to maintain
their competitive advantage and increase profitability. The most forward
thinking industries have realised the maintenance management of rotating
equipment holds the key to smooth running production processes. By taking a
holistic approach to equipment condition, predicting equipments failures with
better accuracy and reducing maintenance spend through functional maintenance,
you will be able to achieve reliability and optimise equipment performance
This
interactive and practical training course has been structured very
specifically, to equip you with the technical and operational skills necessary
for optimising rotating equipment management. Your course trainer will provide specific
procedures and strategies that will improve your current rotating equipment
maintenance.
