Training Course 1 (1.5hr)
Water Hammer Phenomena in Industrial Piping Systems
You will learn how water hammer can occur in piping systems and why it can create serious risks. You will zoom in on key concepts such as pressure waves, the Joukowsky equation, friction damping, line-packing and cavitation and you will understand relevant scenarios and mitigation measures.
-
Training Course 2 (4hr)
Dynamic Stress Analysis of Industrial Piping Systems
This course will teach you how industrial piping systems behave under dynamic loads and how to analyze them. You will explore modal, Dynamic Load Factor, spectrum, time-history and harmonic analysis. You will understand each technique and know which is most suitable for your situation.
-
Training Course 3 (4hr)
Acoustic and Flow Induced Vibrations (AIV, FIV) in Industrial Systems
In this course you will learn how acoustic and flow-induced vibrations affect industrial piping systems and can cause fatigue failure. You will explore AIV and FIV causes, high-risk systems, codes, screening methods, field measurements and detailed assessments. You will also learn how to recognise vibration risks and identify mitigation measures for new and existing piping systems.
-
Training Course 4 (2.5hr)
Pulsation & Vibration theory for Reciprocating Compressors
This course covers pressure pulsations from reciprocating compressors and associated vibration risks. You will explore API 618 pulsation analysis, shaking forces, acoustic resonance, mechanical vibrations and real compressor station cases. You will also learn how to assess pulsation risks and identify mitigations such as pulsation control, damper design and system modifications.
-
Training Course 5 (2hr)
How to Review a Pulsation Study
In this course you will learn how to review pulsation studies and assess whether they meet minimum quality levels. You will explore key report sections covering pumps, compressors, dampers, piping geometry, pulsation results and mechanical vibration results. You will also learn how to use BOSview, identify issues that need expert review and check whether the required documentation is complete.
-
Training Course 6 (2hr)
Understanding Water Hammer Part I
In this course you will build on the fundamentals of water hammer and take a closer look at how pressure surges develop in industrial piping systems. You will explore valve closure, wave speed, unbalanced loads, cavitation, pump trips, pump curves and key equations such as Joukowsky and Michaud. You will also learn how to recognise surge-sensitive situations and prepare for more advanced water hammer analysis in Part II.
-
Training Course 7 (2hr)
Understanding Water Hammer Part II
In this course you will build on Part I and learn how water hammer behaviour is assessed in practical industrial piping systems. You will explore orifice selection, pressure losses, buried systems, wave speed effects and real project-based examples for firewater, deluge and sprinkler systems. You will also learn how to evaluate mitigation measures and balance surge protection with steady-state system performance.
-
Training Course 8 (2.5hr)
Performing Vibration Measurements for Pipe Stress Assessment
In this course you will learn how to perform vibration measurements for pipe stress assessment and understand when piping vibration may threaten system integrity. You will explore vibration sources, measurement equipment, mounting options, measurement locations, operating conditions and post-processing steps. You will also learn how to link measurement data to assessment methods and identify suitable mitigation techniques.
