Troubleshooting Rotodynamic Pump 

Vibration Issues

Date: Wednesday June 12, 2024

Time: 1pm - 2 pm ET

PDH Credits: 1

Overview

This webinar presents a high-level step-by-step description of troubleshooting techniques to successfully address vibration issues on rotodynamic pumps.  The main focus is on centrifugal pumps of all types regarding their typical vibration issues such as imbalance, misalignment, rub, looseness, structural resonance, rotodynamic resonance, thermal loading issues, piping strain, flow-induced sub-synchronous vibration, internal recirculation, rotating stall, shaft failure, etc.

Learning Objectives

During this webinar, participants will learn:

• How to attack a pump vibration problem
• Identify the instrumentation and the test methods required to uncover the root cause of the vibration issue.
• How to analyze the data using time wave form, frequency spectral analysis (FFT), continuous monitoring, modal analysis (bump testing), motion magnification video (MMV), and operating deflection shape (ODS).
• Symptoms such as imbalance, misalignment, structural resonances, acoustic issues, torsional natural frequencies, cavitation, rotating stall, rubbing, and looseness are discussed.
• Solution methods using finite element analysis (FEA) are discussed along with a detailed case study.

The acceptance of continuing education as it applies to fulfillment of the state licensing requirements for professional designations is at the pleasure of the individual state licensing boards. It is the responsibility of the individual participants to be knowledgeable about their state requirements.

Licensed Professional Engineers

Continuing professional development is a vital component to the engineering licensure process. Most state licensing boards require continuing professional development as a condition for licensure and renewal of the license to practice engineering. Pre-approval of training providers and courses are not required by most state licensing boards, except for the following:

Florida Board of Professional Engineers

Pump Systems Matter is a board-approved continuing education provider for the Florida Board of Professional Engineers: License # CEA361.

North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors

Pump Systems Matter is an approved continuing professional competency sponsor for the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors: Sponsor # S-0523.

New York State Board for Engineering, Land Surveying, and Geology

Pump Systems Matter is approved as a sponsor of continuing education for professional engineers in New York State: NYS Sponsor # 241.
