Courses are technical and practical

Autumn training course schedule combines sessions with technical lectures on acoustic and vibration subjects with practical equipment training.

Sound and vibration expert, Bruel and Kjaer UK is now taking bookings for its autumn training courses, including sessions with technical lectures on acoustic and vibration subjects, as well as practical equipment training.

"Type 2250 user training for environmental measurements" will be held on 9th September 2008.

This course goes through the basics, from setting the meter up for different types of environmental measurement, through to advanced tips and tricks, such as creating user setups and runs through a number of measurement exercises with the 2250 instrument.

"Practical use of sound level meters", set for 16th October 2008, is aimed at all new users of sound level meters looking to acquire the necessary measurement skills, as quickly as possible and is also suitable for more experienced users looking for a quick refresher.

Beneficial for engineers hoping to improve their understanding of the response of humans to vibration, the "Human vibration measurement" course on 18th September 2008 explores how vibration relates to health hazards, comfort and perception.

It examines measurement of whole-body and hand-arm vibration - and measurement uncertainties - in assessing risk to health in compliance with EU Directive 2002/44/EC.

It's ideal for technicians, engineers, safety officers and consultants working with occupational health departments, manufacturers of machinery causing vibration, mobile machinery (eg construction, freight etc), manufacturers of anti-vibration pads, seats or personal protection equipment.

The "Pulse basic and advanced user training" course on 21st and 22nd October 2008 has been created specially for Pulse users to learn how to design solutions that meet all their multi-channel sound and vibration measurement needs - and covers both the basics and the more advanced features of the company's Pulse multi-analyser system.

There's also an optional third day session on 23rd October 2008, called "Pulse Visual Basic programming", focusing on the fundamentals of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), programming and how to apply them to automate simple measurement tasks in the Pulse Labshop.

The "Use of software (Type 7820) for processing results from 2250" course on 10th September 2008 is suitable for 2250 sound level analyser and 7820 evaluator software users looking to get the most from their software.

This one day course works through the UK field guide, teaching the basics and problem solving using the 7820 software.

Application of the methods used against real case studies will be discussed and assessed.

The "Sound insulation measurement" course set for 25th September 2008 is an introduction for anyone new to measuring building acoustics, room acoustics - and is suitable for those unfamiliar with Bruel and Kjaer's sound level meters such as the 2260 Investigator, 2250 or 2270 sound level analysers with building acoustics or room acoustic modules.

The "Pulse user day" on 25th November 2008 is a focused seminar for customers to learn about and discuss the most current version of this data acquisition system.

It includes a product introduction, an overview of the features in the most current release and covers future enhancements and developments.

A two-day course on 14th and 15th October 2008 on "Principles of acoustics" is recommended for all users of sound level analyser and spectrum analysis equipment, such as one-third octave analysers, who would like to acquire a good basic understanding of acoustic and measurement principles, for a variety of applications such as noise abatement, product labelling and building acoustics.

"Vibration measurement" is a two-day course scheduled for 8th and 9th October 2008, covering how to correctly select and mount an accelerometer in a wide variety of industrial, research and R and D applications - and how to measure vibration levels and analyse the frequency spectrum.

The accent is on preventing common mistakes and misconceptions often encountered in vibration measurements.

Finally, the two-day course on "Advanced acoustics applications training" is recommended for users involved in the design of more quiet products, such as automotive industry or household appliances.

Delegates to this course on 4th and 5th November 2008 will benefit from an in-depth description of sound intensity measurements, including calibration and pI-index, sound power determination and noise source mapping.

The theoretical parts are combined with practical measurements and demonstrations and the participants are given extensive opportunities to perform measurements on their own.
