Description:
This course provides a thorough review of a wide variety of causes of process plant piping vibration from the point of view of an engineer that must identify the cause of vibration, determine if vibration is excessive, and correct the problem if it is. It provides a background on fundamental causes of piping vibration and how to identify the source of vibration, rules of thumb and simplified methods for evaluating vibration severity, and methods of treatment. A wide variety of causes of vibration are covered in order to enable the participant to properly evaluate the variety of piping vibration problems that can occur in piping systems. The causes of vibration, where possible, are discussed with respect to very basic energy and momentum principles that enable the participant to understand what is happening within and to the piping system. Screening and simple vibration limits are provided. Many actual examples of typical plant piping vibration problems that the Becht has encountered in the energy industry are reviewed to illustrate the concepts covered. In addition, participants are encouraged to bring examples of troublesome vibration problems they have experienced or are experiencing in their plants for class discussion. |

Who Should Attend:
Engineers, senior designers, maintenance, quality assurance, inspection and manufacturing personnel who work with process piping (e.g., in the chemical, petroleum, plastic processing, pulp and paper fields) will find the course a time-saving means to gain understanding piping vibration causes and remedies. Because most piping vibration problems reveal themselves during operation, people responsible for operating piping systems are likely to find the course most valuable. However, designers of new piping systems will also find the course valuable because many of potential vibration problems can be anticipated during the design process. Participants are encouraged to bring examples of troublesome vibration problems they have experienced or are experiencing for class discussion. |
