Overview

Vibration analysis enables the early diagnosis of faults in machinery and is a critical activity in predictive maintenance programs.

VCAT II teaches the necessary skills to perform basic analysis and recommend corrective actions on rotating equipment and related structures.

Internationally recognised SVT's VCAT II course complies with International Standards ISO 18436-2 and ISO 18436-3 and offers participants optional certification by the British Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (BINDT) or the Australian Institute of Non-Destructive Testing (AINDT).

Course Duration:

4 days training plus optional 2 hour certification exam.
