 Vibration Analysis – Level 1
PROVIDING INDEPENDENT, UNBIASED INFORMATION

The ISO Cat 1 course is intended for those with limited vibration experience. It allows
everyone to get a hands-on feel for how vibration can properly be used to detect various
problems in rotating machines.

COURSE OVERVIEW
Basic vibration theory is presented to
give each student an understanding of
vibration as it relates to machine
training focused on
condition, along with hands-on real world challenges
demonstrations and class exercises
designed to demonstrate proper data
PRE-STUDY collection techniques. Measurement pitfalls are discussed, along with their adverse effect on machine problem diagnosis, and
E-Learning courses how they are critical to evaluating the severity of problems detected.
