Build deeper expertise in reciprocating machinery analysis

Instructor-led product training designed to strengthen diagnostic accuracy, improve equipment performance, and support data-driven maintenance

Reciprocating engines and compressors generate complex pressure, vibration, and spectral data. Without proper training, analysts risk misinterpreting signals, missing early failure indicators or failing to act on actionable insights—leading to inefficiencies, increased operating costs, and unplanned downtime.

Our training services provide structured, progressive instruction—from foundational concepts to advanced diagnostics—focused on real machinery, real data, and real operating challenges. Courses are built to strengthen analyst confidence, consistency, and technical rigor across engine, compressor, vibration, and software analysis workflows. 

Basic and advanced engine analysis training

Our engine analysis training program equips analysts with the skills required to evaluate engine performance with confidence. The Basic Engine Analysis course provides new analysts with a deeper understanding of key engine components and testing best practices proven in the field, providing a strong foundation for reliable data interpretation.

Building on this foundation, the Advanced Engine Analysis course deepens technical expertise by exploring the underlying processes, calculations, and methodologies used in engine analysis. Participants gain a stronger understanding of how to evaluate engine performance, diagnose issues, and apply analysis results with confidence in real-world operating environments.

Basic and advanced spectrum analysis training

Our spectrum analysis training program helps analysts develop the skills needed to collect and interpret fast Fourier transform (FFT) data for machinery diagnostics. Unlike crank-angle-based pressure and vibration patterns used in engine and compressor analysis, spectrum analysis evaluates vibration amplitude as a function of frequency, requiring a different approach to data collection and interpretation.

The Basic Spectrum Analysis course introduces analysts to spectral (FFT) analysis fundamentals, including vibration principles, frequency-domain data collection, and industry best practices for interpreting spectral results.

The Advanced Spectrum Analysis coursenew this yearbuilds on this foundation by expanding the analyst’s ability to apply frequency-based vibration analysis with greater depth and precision.
