Precision Shaft Alignment Online Examination

The Precision Shaft Alignment Online Examination is designed to assess the knowledge and decision-making skills required to align rotating machinery accurately and reliably.

The questions focus on practical industrial situations rather than simple memorisation. Candidates may be asked to interpret alignment readings, identify offset or angular misalignment, select the correct alignment procedure, calculate machine corrections, and determine the causes of inconsistent measurement results.

The examination also evaluates the candidate’s understanding of pre-alignment inspections, soft foot, shaft and coupling runout, pipe strain, machine movement, alignment tolerances, thermal growth, and machine-train alignment.

Successful candidates demonstrate that they understand not only how to operate an alignment instrument but also how to interpret its measurements and manage common problems encountered during an alignment job.
