High Piping Vibrations
Problem

Unexpected trips for gas leakage

  • welding ruptures of the inlet nozzle on piping
  • acoustic resonance and poor piping clamping

‍

Solution
  • installation of restriction orifices
  • stiffening of the existing piping structure
  • optimization of clamps disposition
