As part of efforts to share best practices across K-Companies, the Central Workshops Team and a delegation of engineers from KNPC recently held a meeting in Mina Abdullah to share best practices.
The meeting began with a welcome message from Ag. Team Leader Central Workshops Khaled Sultan Al-Ajmi. This was followed by a presentation by Snr. F/M Balancing Khaled Saud Al-Ajmi on “Dynamic Balancing of Rotating Equipment” with details of different steps taken to ensure the quality of balancing jobs. Dynamic balancing is performed with sensors attached to the bearing pedestals. It allows for the identification of the imbalance on two planes so that a real correction can take place. It makes use of machinery to identify the point of the imbalance and correct it.
Afterward, a practical demonstration was conducted on the balancing machines. The visiting delegates asked relevant questions and familiarized themselves with practical balancing processes.
