Vibration induced failures in Oil and Gas facilities may cause significant impact to process safety events and production down time. Lesson learned from instrument installation analysis historical events and inclusion in engineering design phase as the mitigation measures. It can help improving the facilities reliability referring to API-RP-552 Transmission Systems, Guidelines for the Avoidance of Vibration Induced Fatigue Failure in Process Pipework Energy Institute, and best practices. Most cases the vibration induced failures impacted to instrumentation impulse line and pneumatic supply lines causing instrument and actuated/control valves malfunction, hence further consequences events.
It’s a simple sharing session topic, in view of instrumentation, but sometimes the significance impacts are forgotten.
Let’s also share your experiences and any standard benchmarking…It would enrich the knowledge and best practices on the discussion topic.
Happy webinar…!
