About the course

Pulsation studies can result in quite elaborate and complex reports with large output data sets. To the non-specialist it may feel like you are being confronted with difficult recommendations to which you should adhere, yet it is unclear how these were concluded based on the large "black box of data" which is submitted by a pulsation specialist. You may therefore think that you need to be a subject matter expert to review pulsation reports. Whilst this is partly true, there are significant parts of these studies that you can review for yourself, even if you are not an expert.

This course demonstrates the steps a non-specialist can take to review a pulsation analysis.. It is shown which topics should be present in a pulsation report and how they relate to the conclusions and recommendations. How to evaluate the robustness of the results in the pulsation study is explained, and to illustrate how to validate these, the BOSview software suite is used. The topics in this course include how to review the chapters in the pulsation analysis report about pumps and compressors, dampers, piping geometry, pulsation levels and mechanical vibrations.

Important note: This course does not cover pulsations and vibrations fundamentals or details of how to conduct the different design analyses per API618/API674.

This course contains 4 online courses based on video content and demonstrations in BOSview. An example model is explained for each subject that is discussed.

You receive 1-year unlimited access to the course. This allows you to perform courses again, should you need to refresh your knowledge for your work projects.

Learning Outcomes

After this course, you...
• are able to perform a concise review of a pulsation study to verify that the study meets the minimum quality levels,
• understand the important aspects of a pulsation report,
• know how to utilize BOSview to review pulsation study results,
• can identify potential issues that should be reviewed by an expert,
• can ensure that the documentation of a pulsation analysis is complete, enabling an in• depth review when required.

Who should attend this course

• Pulsation and vibration engineers who want to know how BOSview can be used as supplementation to standard documentation.
• Non-specialists who have received pulsation and vibration study results from a third party.
• Project managers involved with the acquisition of pumps and compressors.

Prerequisites

Affinity with industrial plants. Knowing how and why pulsation studies are performed is an advantage, but definitely not a must.
