CAT IV - Part 2 - Classroom course + Exams

Master Vibration Analyst (CAT-IV) - PART 2

• Venue: Live Classroom
• Duration: 4 days
• Continuing Education Units (CEUs): 4
• Examination:  Provided on the 5th day

This four-day course will be delivered in a classroom environment.  Quizzes will be performed during the course in order to gauge comprehension.

The primary focus of this course is the measurement, analysis, dynamics, and balancing of turbomachinery.  Topics will include proximity probe and casing measurements, orbit and centerline plot analysis, rotor dynamics (natural frequencies, modeling), journal bearings (design, fluid film instabilities), and flexible rotor balancing.  The course will also cover torsional vibration. 

Note that this course is designed for people who have come up through the Category I, II, III development process; it is not necessary to have a degree in advanced mechanical engineering or dynamics – we will take a very practical approach.  Utilizing advanced 3D animations and software simulations, topics that were possibly beyond the reach of many vibration analysts will be far easier to understand.  The aim is to provide the level of knowledge that enables the vibration analyst to understand these topics to a high degree, with the expectation that if advanced analysis, design modification or modeling is required, a specialist in those areas will be called-in.

Certification:

The Category IV examination will be offered on the fifth day.  The exam consists of 60 questions which must be completed in five hours.  In order to be certified the candidate must have completed parts one and two of this course, or provide evidence of equivalent training, hold Category III certification and provide verifiable evidence of 60 months experience.
