Offshore Mechanical Maintenance

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • know the basics of technical drawing, characterize a part, a mechanical assembly,
  • identify the different mechanical construction materials,
  • know the fundamentals of mechanical system design, the main assemblies (bearing assemblies),
  • know the main power transmission elements (gears, joints…), wisely use the metrology devices used in workshop,
  • describe the mechanical strength, chemical resistance and thermal resistance.

COURSE CONTENT

  •  TECHNICAL REPRESENTATION OF PARTS & SIMPLE MECHANICAL SYSTEMS
    • Technical drawing agreement: 2D and isometric views, projections, section and cut-away views, perspectives, technical vocabulary.
    • Dimensioning of parts and mechanical systems, ISO tolerances and main adjustments.
    • Dimensional tolerances and clearance.
    • Geometric tolerances and surface condition characterization.
    • Presentation of the tools in a metrology shop, performances and rules of use.
    • Practical exercises:
    • Dimensioning and full geometric control of a pump shaft.
    • Understanding of a simple machine cut-away view.
    • Representation of a machine element in 2D projection and perspectives.
  •  ELEMENTS OF CONSTRUCTION
    • Materials used in the Oil & Gas industry: identification of the metals, alloys, plastics and composites, operating and maintenance rules.
    • Expansion and effects on the assemblies.
    • Manufacturing process of metallic parts, molding, forging.
