SEPTEMBER

MACHINERY INSTRUMENTATION

Dates:    September 12-14,1984

Płace:    Calgary. Alberta. Canada

Objective:    To provide an in-depth    exar..ination    of

vibration measurement and machinery information Systems as well as an introduction to diagnostic instrumentation. The seminar is designed for me-chanlcal, instrumentation, and operations personnel who require a generał knowledge of machinery information systems. It is a recommended prerequi-site for the Machinery Instrumentation and Diagnos-tics Seminar.

FIELD INSTRUMENTATION AND DFAGNOSTICS

Dates:    September 18-21,1984

Place:    Edmonton, Alberta. Canada

Dates:    December 3-6.1984

Place:    Houston, Texas

Objective: To provide a balanced introduction to diagnostic instrumentation and its applications for evaluating rotating machinery behavior. The seminar also covers fundamenta! rotating machinery behavior and some of the morę common machinery malfunc-tions. It includes a lab session with workshops on data acqui$ition instrumentation. balancing. oil whirl/whip and rubs, and monitor system calibration.

OCTOBER

YIBRATIONS OF RECIPROCATING MACHINERY

Dates:    October 9-12. 1984

Place:    Houston. Texas

Objective: This is a new course on vibrations of reciprocating machinery including piping and founda-tions. Equipment that will be addressed includes reciprocating compressors and pumps as well as engines of all types. Engineering problems will be discussed from the point of view of computation and measurement. Basic pulsation theory - including pulsations in reciprocating compressors and piping systems - will be described. Acoustic resonance phenomena and digital acoustic simulation in piping will be reviewed. Calculations of piping vibration and stress will be illustrated with example$ and case histories. Torsional vibrations of systems containing engines and pumps. compressors, and generators, including gearboxes and fluid drives. will becovered. Factors that should be considered during the design and analysis of foundations for engines and compressors will be discussed. Practical aspects of the vibrations of reciprocating machinery will be empha-
