Many serious pipe vibration issues can be easily detected using a simple vibration screening technique like that used for the routine condition monitoring of rotating machinery.
If undetected, excessive vibration can result in fatigue cracks at welds resulting in pipe fracture. In the oil & gas and chemical process industries dealing with hazardous liquids or gases such fractures could lead to serious incidents involving major injury, fire, explosion or pollution.
If you would like to learn more about how to adopt best practice to reduce the risk of fatigue failures on your pipework and how to implement common corrective actions, then you may be interested in one of the 5 pipework vibration courses run by specialist training provider VibTech Ltd.
