Course Introduction
This course aims to convey the latest thinking and best practice of Rotating Equipment Machinery Components especially Pumps which we consider it the important types of Rotating Equipment’s, also will explain to the participants about conditions monitoring and analysis via lectures, case studies, video films and course activities.
The course gives a detailed advanced treatment of the detection, location and diagnosis of faults and failures in Pumps. Case study and examples are used throughout the course to emphasize key points and to underline the relevance and applicability of the topics being addressed.
The course will provide a refreshment of knowledge for the how both of them concepts and how it work and what are main problems facing it during operations of them. Also, it will provide a solid foundation for technologists moving into a machine monitoring and diagnostic role.
