Mechanical and Rotating Equipment Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 2,500
Overview
The course will introduce delegates to the different types of pumps, Compressors, Turbines and Fan/ Blowers and their associated terminology. Centrifugal and positive-displacement pumps, compressors, Turbines and Fan/ Blowers packing, mechanical seals and sealing systems, bearings and couplings will all be discussed.
Learning Objectives
Most of plant’s equipment are rotary. Therefore, understanding the principles of rotating equipment is very essential. Identification of failure modes and monitoring methods of failure symptoms are important as well, for establishing the most effective maintenance program. This course begins with discussing the definition of rotating equipment, their types and their primary functions, as well as the general characteristics of rotating equipment in relation with their performance. Then, a detailed discussion on primary rotating equipment, namely pumps, compressors, turbines and fans/blowers, will be given. The discussion includes the classification for each type, the performance characteristics and the frequent failure modes. This course is closed with a procedure to conduct alignment of axles and predictive maintenance for rotating equipment.

What do Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses cover?
The portfolio covers reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and vibration analysis, root cause failure analysis, rotating and static equipment, asset management and maintenance planning — including preparation for the CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) credential.
Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?
These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.
How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?
