TURBO LAB TO PRESENT VIBRATIONS SHORT COURSE AT MAY CONFERENCE IN PHILADELPHIA
Course presented in partnership with Society for Machinery Failure Prevention Technology, Vibration Institute and Hydraulic Institute
The Turbo Lab has teamed up with the Society for Machinery Failure Prevention Technology (MFPT) to offer a short course at a spring conference in Philadelphia.
The Turbo Lab and MFPT along with the Hydraulic Institute and the Vibration Institute have formed a cooperative effort to expand the scope of presentations at the annual MFPT conference. Turbo Lab will present Vibration Problems and Solutions in Turbomachinery and Centrifugal Pumps, a full-day course offered on May 13 in conjunction with the MFPT 2019 conference, May 14-16 in King of Prussia, Pa. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
The course covers intermediate and advanced techniques for measuring, interpreting, and mediating vibration in turbomachinery and centrifugal pumps. The new method of motion-amplified video is explained and demonstrated. Modern troubleshooting methods and fixes are provided, with many case histories.
Course instructor William (Bill) D. Marscher is a ten-year veteran of the pump advisory committee for the Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia, hosted by the Turbo Lab annually in Houston. Marscher is president and technical director of Mechanical Solutions, Inc., where he and other staff perform design, analysis, testing and troubleshooting of pumps and miscellaneous turbomachinery. Bill has more than 40 years of hands-on and design experience with rotating machinery. Maki M. Onari, vice president of engineering for Mechanical Solutions, Inc., will teach alongside Marscher. Onari has extensive experience in resolving rotating machinery problems. His expertise includes field testing and associated capabilities in instrumentation, data acquisition and analysis equipment, and analysis of vibration and other dynamic machinery data.
The partnership is the first of its kind for the four organizations. The Turbo Lab began hosting short courses in 1995, building upon Texas A&M’s tradition of continuing education and professional workforce development. Visit turbolab.tamu.edu/short-courses/ to learn more, and register at mfpt.org.
