Overview

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

VCAT I teaches the necessary skills to measure and assess machinery condition.

These skills will enable them to perform single channel measurement and recognise general faults across a broad range of rotating equipment and related structures.

Internationally recognised SVT's VCAT I 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:

3 days training plus optional 2 hour certification exam.
