Pipe Vibration Assessment and Pipe Support Design 

Project Description

  • As a result of a pipe vibration assessment, we determined that additional pipe supports and modifications to existing pipe supports were required

 

Responsibilities:

  • Pipe vibration assessment 
  • Design of new pipe supports to reduce pipe vibration
  • P&ID and isometric record drawings
  • Stress and modal analysis to ASME B31.3
  • Report with recommendations
  • Detailed design drawings
  • Construction inspection
  • As a result of this project, the following were achieved:
    • Stopped pipe vibration
    • Reduced nozzle loads
    • Reduced peak stress from 235% to 64% of Allowable Stresses
