This two-day MasterClass provides a foundation of knowledge This one-day MasterClass provides a practical examination of the
necessary for those responsible for assuring the mechanical integrity of fundamental causes of piping failures and describes how the failures
existing piping systems, as well as those responsible for designing and
constructing new piping systems. The program presents background could have been prevented. A wide variety of failures are discussed,
on fundamental causes of piping vibration and describes how to and include mechanisms such as fatigue, overload, corrosion and
identify sources of vibration. Rules of thumb and simplified methods others. Mistakes made during design, construction, operation,
for evaluating vibration severity, as well as methods of treatment are maintenance and inspection are reviewed in detail.

in order to enable the participant to properly evaluate the variety of Sessions are focused on real-world examples and case studies, with
piping vibration problems that can occur in piping systems. active class discussion and analysis.
Participants are encouraged to bring examples of troublesome You Will Learn To

discussion. • Identify the probable causes of piping failures
• Recommend methods to correct future similar failures
You Will Learn To
Who Should A end
• Identify the probable causes of piping vibration
• Determine if vibration is likely to be excessive Engineers, senior designers, maintenance, quality assurance, inspection
• Recommend methods to correct the problem if the vibration and manufacturing personnel who work with process piping (e.g., in the
chemical, petroleum, plastic processing, pulp and paper fields) will find
is excessive this MasterClass an essential resource and time-saving means to gain
an understanding of piping failures and remedies
