Project Description

• The client retained Earth Fire Energy to complete a pipe stress and  vibration assessment 
• The pipe vibration was causing nozzle cracking on a reactor discharge pipe

Responsibilities:

• Site visit to observe vibration and confirm existing piping system, including dimensions and pipe support configuration
• Reviewed historical operating conditions as provided by the client
• Prepared a model using Caesar II Software to analyze pipe stress and estimate the modal natural frequencies for the existing pipe routing
• Provided client with a final report including our observations, analysis, and recommendations to ensure peak stresses were within allowable code stresses (ASME B31.3)
