Failure Investigation Techniques
Course Details
The aims of the course are to provide attendees with sufficient understanding to be able to recognise key features on failed components taken mainly from rotating equipment and machinery parts, to make judgements about the cause of failure, and to identify the correct remedial steps required to prevent such failures occurring again.
Designed for
Manufacturing and production engineers, maintenance and corrosion engineers, supervisors and inspectors who are for a substantial part of their job are dealing with equipment maintenance.
Objectives
This course will provide participants with theoretical and practical skills necessary to:
- recognise key features of failed components
- Make judgements about teh cause of failure
- Indentify the correct remedial steps required to prevent such failures occurring again.
Subjects
To provide participants with a good understanding of engineering failures mainly on rotating equipment and machinery parts, and how to diagnose these failures. Competences adressed
- Mechanical engineering
- Failure analysis
Information for participants
Suitable candidates will typically have a minimum of 5 years experience in equipment maintenance.
Notes
The course takes the form of a workshop utilising keynote lectures and films supplemented by a large number of failed samples. It is preferred to run the course as an export course. Any major refinery or petrochemical complex is convenient.
