Testing the limits
Integrity evaluation of small-bore piping connections
Many industry experts believe that small-bore connection failures represent a high risk for the integrity of facility piping and need more attention during design and when conducting field vibration surveys.
In this free webinar, we discuss how to:
- Understand gaps and overcome challenges with vibration guidelines (including discussion on the upcoming API 579 Part 16 guidelines)
- Evaluate and mitigate small-bore failure risks during design
- Identify high-risk areas and assess the failure potential of small-bore connections during operations
- Address multiple fatigue threats and consider the industry approach to qualitative and quantitative analyses, based on both Energy Institute and GMRC guidelines
- Apply practical solutions to reduce small-bore connection vibration risks and avoid failures
You’ll learn how to:
Evaluate the integrity of
small-bore piping connections
Reduce small-bore piping vibration risks during design
Avoid small-bore connection failures during operations
Who should attend
This webinar is relevant to process, piping, machinery and integrity engineers and project managers responsible for piping, integrity and reliability activities with EPCs and operating companies.
