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.
