Piping Vibration Analysis and Practical Engineering Solutions in Process Plants
Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
This course focuses primarily on structural vibration, merging failure analysis, analytical and test solutions as follows: Primary Objective: Provide an integral, analytical/test approach to solving field vibration problems with an emphasis on piping vibration issues. Secondary Objective: Provide a common language that supports a clear understanding for both the analyst and the test engineer of what each needs to solve vibration problems.
Learning Objectives
This course provides a thorough review of a wide variety of causes of process plant piping vibration from the point of view of an engineer that must identify the cause of vibration, determine if the vibration is excessive, and correct the problem if it is. It provides a background on fundamental causes of piping vibration and how to identify the source of vibration, rules of thumb and simplified methods for evaluating vibration severity, and methods of treatment. A wide variety of causes of vibration are covered in order to enable the participant to properly evaluate the variety of piping vibration problems that can occur in piping systems.
The causes of vibration, where possible, are discussed with respect to very basic energy and momentum principles that enable the participant to understand what is happening within and to the piping system. Screening and simple vibration limits are provided. Many actual examples of typical plant piping vibration problems that the instructor has solved in the energy industry are reviewed to illustrate the concepts covered. In addition, participants are encouraged to bring examples of troublesome vibration problems they have experienced or are experiencing in their plants for class discussion.

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.
