Overview
Piping Failure Analysis

Stress analysis needs expensive software and skill. It is observed that many contractors end up installing lines without formal stress analysis to reduce cost and due to project completion pressure. Client find it very difficult to handle recurring issues during operation, arising out of faulty routing and supporting...
It is observed that many small and medium chemical manufacturers are not aware of the impact of the thermal expansion in hot piping and connected equipment. Companies end up attending recurring problems without addressing the core issue arising out of the thermal expansion in piping. Many times, a small change in supporting can solve major recurring leakage issues.
Steam is used as utility in food, pharma, wood and pulp, textile, automotive etc industry. Leakage and dislocation in steam line observed if analysis and supporting not done properly. Temporary solutions like rewelding at leakage points etc. never gives a permanent relief.
