What can you expect to learn in ECS 2 : Component Failure?

​

Preface:

 

Upon successful completion of this seminar, students will be able to detect early machinery failure symptoms by applying learned machinery inspection techniques and the use of machinery measurement tools. Attendees will understand the need to competently remove all types of bearings, couplings and

sealing systems, recognize why they failed, and

install them using correct preparation procedures,

up to date installation tools and techniques. Session

participants will be capable of identifying lubrication

problems involving delivery, installation, adjustments,

sampling and contamination control strategies.

They will possess a better understanding of lubrication

basics and selection criteria, effective placement of

lubrication filters and water removal systems.

Add in about sleeve bearings Attendees will be

prepared to successfully use these correct failure

reducing techniques and tools, in all phases of their responsibilities. As attendees return to their respective work they will be able to successfully use these correct failure investigation procedures and component installation standards to improve maintenance procedures, bill of materials selection process and ASD/RCA.

 

Objectives:

​

This session focuses on specific issues that surround the practices and components that commonly fail in plants namely; bearings, lubrication, couplings and sealing systems. This unique approach continues to raise the bar and help place the “craft” back in craftsman. The class begins with learning correct ways to disassemble failed machines to effectively and efficiently document failure symptoms and use those symptoms to assist in determining the root cause of

failure. Having correctly identified the source of

failure this seminar moves provides attendees

with a real and working practical knowledge of

various bearing applications, identification, removal/installation techniques and tips, interpretation of correct fit charts with exercises.

Focus continues on the correct application

of proven, essential lubrication best practice

skills, (selection, properties, types, housing,

delivery systems), with a particular emphasis

on the smaller everyday balance of plant

machines that represent the majority of the

asset base. In the power transmission

section, attendees are introduced to the

correct selection, installation, inspection

and lubrication of commonly found

couplings. The session finishes with

an introduction to various shaft sealing

systems, allowing attendees to better recognize and field correct typical failure modes. Key elements of this seminar include immediately applicable knowledge, with “hands on”, “performance based” class exercises. Where appropriate these class exercises use “working” and “dynamically running” demonstrators. System “performance” measurements are completed in the classroom and provide technicians with an immediate feedback on the results and application value of applied techniques. These hands-on exercises comprise approximately 50% of the class.
