Why Choose this Training Course?

Vibration can cause significant damage to the piping systems by directly causing the crack, that can further on lead to loss of containment, or, in other cases, secondary damage to the piping supports, other equipment, or lead to fretting damage, among others.

This Piping Vibration Analysis training course will highlight the basics of the piping design taking into account also vibration prevention and issues in vibration control, and, on the other hand, present the troubleshooting paths, problem solving ways in vibration control once the piping systems are in service.

Proper vibration management is one of the most important tools to prevent premature or unexpected piping failures.

By focusing on the industrial guidelines for vibration management, like API 579/ASME FFS-1, Part 14, “Fatigue damage”, as well as on the future Part 15, dealing with high cycle fatigue, assessment methods given in API RP 581 (Risk based inspection), Piping fatigue section, as well as on the Energy Institute Publication “Guidelines for the Avoidance of Vibration Induced Fatigue Failure in Process Pipework”, and other equipment-specific guidelines (i.e. API, ISO publications), this training course offers the state-of-the-art knowledge condensed in one week time.

This PetroKnowledge Piping Vibration Analysis training course will highlight:

  • What vibration and fatigue of piping systems is
  • Possible consequences on the piping due to vibrations
  • Interaction with other damage mechanisms
  • Methods for vibration assessment
  • Methods for identification of vibration sources
  • Best ways of mitigating, monitoring and managing the piping vibration

What are the Goals?

Main goal of this training course is to enable participants to master the proper vibration management in the plant.

By the end of this Piping Vibration Analysis training course, participants will learn to:

  • Understand what vibrations are, what is (high cycle) fatigue
  • Properly identify source of vibration
  • Learn rule-of-the-thumb simplified methods for the severity estimation in the field
  • Grasp advanced analytical and FE methods for vibration severity estimation
  • Understand the options to deal with the vibration problems and how to solve them

Who is this Training Course for?

This training course will greatly benefit any plant engineer from understanding the problem fundamentals and having tools to understand the severity of the problem as such.

This Piping Vibration Analysis training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals, but primarily intended for the:

  • plant integrity professional
  • pipeline maintenance engineers
  • other field professionals facing vibration issues in their day-to-day work
  • piping design engineers
  • machinery and valve maintenance engineers

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This PetroKnowledge training course will utilise a combination of learning techniques to ensure optimal understanding, relating and retention of the presented content.  The training course is composed so that it can be attended and followed by professionals faced with piping vibration problems. It is comprised of a variance of lectures and practical exercises. Practical, illustrative problems for different real-life problems and their solutions will be discussed. There are numerous opportunities for discussion and further exploration of related topics and problems from the participants.

Organisational Impact

The organisation would greatly benefit from this training course as they will in the end be able to:

  • Administer implementation of the state-of-the-art approaches to the piping vibration problems
  • Have a better understanding of the piping remaining life and overall planning of the piping maintenance
  • Attain increased plant reliability as most of the catastrophic failures related to piping vibration can be managed on time
  • Ensure increased plant safety due to minimised leakage attributed to the vibration issues
  • Provide safer working environment

Personal Impact

The participants of this Piping Vibration Analysis training course will have:

  • Better understanding of the fatigue and vibration problems
  • Confidence in the identification of the vibration sources
  • Good command of the methods how to recognise and prioritise the severe vibration cases
  • Understanding the analytical methods for remaining life calculation due to fatigue/vibration damage
  • Understand linkage and interaction between fatigue damage/vibration and other damage mechanisms
