How To Solve Your Piping System Pulsations and Vibrations Problems

Engineers. Operators. Technicians.

We'll contact you first when registration opens!

Course Overview

This introductory course covers applied pulsation and vibration problem solving, field examples, troubleshooting, and failure mitigation. The course is intended for engineers, operators, and technicians working with gas compression or liquid pumping piping systems. Instruction will be provided by experienced SwRI staff. The class includes practical handson exercises, case studies, and machinery demonstrations, along with a roundtable discussion with pulsation/vibration experts.
