Course Introduction
This course aims to convey the latest thinking and best practice of Rotating Equipment Machinery Components, especially Pumps, which we consider an important type of Rotating Equipment. will also 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 studies 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 on how both them concepts and how it work and what are main problems they face during their operations are. Also, it will provide a solid foundation for technologists moving into a machine monitoring and diagnostic role.
