Noise & Vibration Training Courses.
Noise and vibration specialist, Bruel & Kjaer has announced
that the company is running an extensive programme of
training courses during 2001.
Offering a mix of acoustics and vibration training -both hands-on and
theoretical - the courses are ideal for people who are new to the
subjects and for those in need of refresher training.
Basic Acoustics is a two-day course designed to provide a thorough
grounding for those new to the fields of sound, noise and acoustic
measurements. All participants completing the course will be able to
perform a range of measurements and correctly set up measuring
instruments or assess noise reports.
Bruel & Kjaer's user training courses are available for the company's
most popular sound level meters - the 2260B "Investigator" and 2238
"Mediator" - and associated software. Intended for first-time users of
the equipment or those in need of a refresher, these courses explain
the basic functions, set-up and use of the sound level meters with
participants working through set-up and measurement exercises.
Limited to eight participants per course, the training is completely
interactive with personal supervision and application of the methods
to real cases is discussed.
Building acoustics is a one-day course covering theory and
measuring techniques using the Type 2260 analyser with sound
source to measure reverberation time and sound insulation.
The course also reviews new developments in the field particularly
with respect to standards and legislation.
Using PULSE - Basic and Advanced - training courses provide
intensive, hands-on training sessions that allow participants to take
maximum advantage of Brüel and Kjaer's PULSE multi-analyser
system, Type 3560, and design PULSE solutions to meet their
own multichannel sound and vibration measurement needs.
Shock and Vibration is covered in detail in an application-oriented
seminar over three days. Structured to give engineers and senior
technicians a review of the basics, the course also provides an
opportunity for participants to broaden their working knowledge
in all aspects of accelerometer selection, installation, cabling and
calibration. This course includes a copy of Endevco's textbook,
Shock and Vibration Measurement Technology and concludes
with a special presentation by an external expert on a specific
application.
A two-day course covers the measurement of Dynamic Pressure
in applications ranging froii~ underwater and underground blast
effects to aero-dynamics turbulence. Giving engineers and senior
technicians the in-depth knowledge needed for the correct selection
and installation of transducers in such challenging environments,
this course includes a copy of Endevco's textbook, Dynamic
Pressure Measurement.
Noise Tour 2001
Besides running training courses at its Stevenage headquarters,
Brüel & Kjaer will also be taking its acclaimed NoiseTour on the
road again this year. visiting 15 venues in the UK and Ireland from
May to December, the NoiseTour 2001 course content includes
fundamentals of noise instrumentation, frequency analysis,
measurement and assessment techniques and new developments.
