Ultrasonics: Mechanical & Electrical Inspection

About

Ultrasonic testing is a reliable form of predictive maintenance and quality control which will help technicians detect leaks, worn bearings and other problems before they cause equipment failure or damage. This is one course in a three-part series, where your workers will learn how ultrasound is used in diagnostics and analysis, and will gain an understanding of the components of a typical ultrasound detector.

Mechanical and electrical inspections are essential for safe and efficient plant operation. The earlier a problem can be detected, the better the chances of fixing it at the lowest cost. This important course will teach your workers how to use ultrasonics to perform non-destructive tests on mechanical and electrical components. Topics include:

-Bearing inspection and detecting bearing failure
-Recognizing metal fatigue
-Brinelling
-Under- or over-lubrication
-Comparative and historical and electrical testing
-Detector setup and testing procedure
-Historical Analysis
-Troubleshooting
-Broken gear teeth
-Faulty valves/pump malfunctions
-Component wear
-Arcing
-Corona
-Tracking
