Evaluation of the vibration excitation in the piping system to protect against fatigue failure, together with piping stress analysis, are the two important activities to be conducted during the phase of piping design. Advances in the power and process industries has led to increased potential of fatigue failure in piping, due to increased operating pressures and flow rates and use of thin wall high strength materials. The Energy Institute has developed a standard for the assessment of the potential of fatigue failure in the piping systems and this standard became an industry norm for the design of new plants as well as evaluation of existing plants.

The course will present the topics of vibration and vibration-induced fatigue in piping systems and will cover in detail the Energy Institute guidelines with applications. Topics shall include Flow-Induced Vibration (FIV), Acoustic-Induced Vibration (AIV) and other types of vibration of piping systems. The course shall provide a wide background about piping vibrational problems and practical solutions, the application of Energy Institute rules for vibration-induced fatigue assessment and advanced methods for detailed

assessment of FIV and AIV.

This is a theoretical course. Chempute Software will provide PDF training notes and course completion certificate.
