Piping Vibration Analysis: Causes, Effects, Measurement & Mitigation
Excessive piping vibration is more than an operational nuisance. Left unresolved, it can contribute to flange leakage, support damage, fatigue cracking, equipment nozzle loading, and ultimately unplanned shutdowns or loss of containment. The risk becomes more significant when vibration coincides with natural frequencies of the piping system or creates high cyclic stresses at vulnerable locations […]
