Why is This Course Unique?
This is the only picture-based training in the industry to help engineers, maintenance crafts, or QA/QC inspectors to perform effective field observations of component failures. More than 300 pictures are used to describe the commonly encountered 75 failure symptoms for various components in the power industry. Without knowing what symptoms to look for, many equipment failures that could have been prevented or correctly investigated went un-noticed, thus missing opportunities to fix the problems in a timely fashion.
Benefits of This Course:
Pictures are worth more than words. The picture based training helps students remember the failure symptoms and help them to see the failure precursors, to detect incipient failures, and to correctly investigate the failure modes. This training course is a must for field engineers, field QA/QC inspectors, or field supervisors to lead the team performing maintenance work during outages.
