NDT PREDICTIVE TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAMAccredited Training for Predictive Maintenance brought to you by: WSU, NIAR, & WATC
AIRBORNE ULTRASOUND/ACOUSTIC EMISSION
•Curriculum has been developed to instruct students on Airborne Ultrasonic theory, application, & analysis as well as provide entry level theory, application, & analysis for acoustic emission testing•Classroom/Lab is equipped with several Airborne Ultrasonic guns
and an Acoustic Emission Tester for hands-on learningWhat can airborne ultrasound & acoustic emission do for you?Reduce downtime:•Find early stage bearing problems and lubrication issues to prevent
catastrophic failure•Find electrical arcing and tracking issues that could lead to
catastrophic failureSave money:•Find costly compressed air or vacuum leaks•Reduce downtime costs and repairs by monitoring bearing healthImprove efficiency:•Find electrical issues that may be consuming excess power•Find compressed air or vacuum leaks that may create higher power
consumption for compressors and blowers
MOTOR CIRCUIT TESTING
•Curriculum has been developed for training students in the theory, application, and analysis of data collected with PdMA’s MCEmax tester•Classroom/Lab has many electric motors available for hands-on
learning for online and offline testingWhat can motor circuit testing do for you?Reduce downtime:•Find problems with electrical motors early before they fail
catastrophically•Find motor circuit problems that could lead to motor failure, ground
faults, or even fireSave money:•Reduce unscheduled downtime and repair costs by finding issues with
electrical motors and circuits before catastrophic failure•Improve motor efficiency by finding conditions in electric motors that
could consume excess powerImprove efficiency:•Improve motor efficiency by finding conditions in electric motors that
could consume excess power
•Classes available: Machine Lubrication & Oil Analysis I,II, & III•Curriculum has been developed to prepare students for ICML’s MLA
I, II, & III certifications•Classroom/Lab is equipped with oil analysis equipment for hands-
on learningWhat can oil analysis do for you?Reduce downtime:•Find abnormal wear conditions in machines before they fail
catastrophically•Assess machine and oil health to extend normal operating lifeSave money:•Reduce downtime and repair costs by finding early indications of
the onset of failure•Reduce unwarranted oil changes by monitoring oil cleanliness levelsImprove efficiency:•Assess the health of the machine and oil to ensure that the
machine is running under optimal conditions
MACHINE LUBRICATION & OIL ANALYSIS VIBRATION ANALYSIS
•Classes available: Vibration Analysis I, II, & III•Curriculum follows ASNT’s recommendations for training for
level II analysts as well as additional training in the fields of shaft alignment & balancing•Classroom/Lab is equipped with several vibration data collectors as
well as test stands for hands-on learningWhat can vibration analysis do for you?Reduce downtime:•Prevent machine failures caused by misalignment, unbalance, wear,
resonance, etcSave money:•Reduce unscheduled downtime by identifying conditions early that
could otherwise lead to catastrophic failure•Reduce the number of maintenance PMs by monitoring machine
health routinelyImprove efficiency:•Use vibration data to identify conditions like misalignment and
unbalance that can reduce a machine’s efficiency
•Classes available: Thermography I, II, & III•Curriculum follows ASNT’s recommendations for training for level
I,II, & III•Classroom/Lab is equipped with several infrared cameras & test
stands for hands-on learningWhat can thermography do for you?Reduce downtime:•Find overheated motors prior to catastrophic failure•Find high resistance electrical connections prior to catastrophic
failure or even fire•Find hot bearings prior to catastrophic failure Save money:•Reduce unscheduled downtime costs and repairs by finding
problems before they lead to catastrophic failures•Reduce high resistance connections in electrical systems that could
otherwise consume more power or create unwanted repair costs•Find missing insulation or refractory on buildings or furnaces to find
areas of heat or energy loss•Find moisture intrusion before it damages building structuresImprove efficiency:•Find overheated motors that may not be operating under optimal
conditions and consuming excess power•Reduce high resistance connections in electrical systems that could
otherwise consume more power or create unwanted repair costs•Improve heating/cooling efficiency in buildings by finding areas of
heat loss
