About this Webinar
Pressure reduction devices such as valves and orifices in gas-filled piping systems can cause severe acoustic vibration and cause metal fatigue, particularly in systems with high pressure drops or high Mach number flows. This webinar focusses on the assessment of the risk of vibration induced by gas flow through pressure reduction devices, a phenomenon known as Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV). The webinar combines the theory behind Acoustic Induced Vibration with a live demonstration using BOSfluids. By understanding and mitigating AIV, an early failure of the system can be prevented. This is especially of concern since AIV tends to affect safety related systems, as these for instance have a high-pressure drop or high Mach number flow over a relief valve. In addition, the time to failure is typically short as it involves a high frequency response.
Key Learnings
This session will cover
- The theory behind Acoustic Induced Vibrations.
- Assessment of a piping system using the Eisinger or `D/T’ method.
- Assessment of a piping system using the Energy Institute guidelines.
- Mitigation measures to prevent fatigue failure due to AIV.
- Live BOSfluids demonstration showcasing the calculation of the sound power level (PWL) in a piping system.
Who Should Watch
This webinar is ideal for engineers, technical consultants, and professionals that are involved in the design, operation, or maintenance of high-pressure gas-filled piping systems or gas-filled systems with high Mach number flows.
