Mitigations to Flow Induced Vibration (FIV) in Control Valve Piping System using Visco-Elastic Dampers & Neoprene Pads ⬇️
The control valve piping is vibrating due to high flow rate and high velocity, also this line is running at different flow rate condition. The generic calculations based on Energy Institute Guidelines indicate that the flow is Turbulent and Likelihood of Failure is more than one. This number is alarming and detailed analysis considering change in flow, pipe route, supports etc. is recommended to be performed. This Paper aims to study the 12-inch Control Valve Piping Vibrations observed at site due high flow rates and high velocity. and also attempts to find probable cause of the vibration and the solution to minimize these vibrations.
