About
Introduction
This comprehensive training program is designed to deliver a deep understanding of machine condition monitoring and vibration diagnostics using the principles and tools of Bentley Nevada. The course will equip power plant personnel with the essential skills to analyze and interpret machine vibration data, enabling them to detect and diagnose common machine faults at an early stage.
Objectives
- Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:
- Understand the fundamentals of synchronous rotor response.
- Interpret startup and shutdown vibration plots.
- Analyze single-plane and multi-plane balance response.
- Detect and identify partial radial rubs, looseness, and fluid-induced instabilities.
- Identify shaft cracks through vibration diagnostics.
- Interpret phase measurements and steady-state vibration data formats.

Training Methodology
Pathways Training and consulting adopts the newest techniques of human resources Training and consulting and, with the following:
- Theoretical lectures are delivered via PowerPoint and visual displays (videos and short films)
- Making scientific evaluation to the trainee (before and after)
- Brainstorming and role-playing
- Using case studies related to the scientific material being delivered and the trainees` work.
- The participants get the scientific and practical material printed and on CDs and Flash memories.
- Preparing records and reports of the participants` attendance and results, with a general evaluation of the training program.
- A group of the best trainers and experts in all fields and specialties professionally prepares the scientific material.
- After finishing the course, the participants get certificates of attendance signed, certified, and issued by pathways Training and consulting.
- Our training programs start at 9:00 o`clock in the morning and end at 2:00 in the afternoon, with snack buffet during the lectures.
