Who should be approached for the analysis of the factory’s reciprocating compressor piping system, or by the design institute?
Thread Content
RT, our company specializes in reciprocating compressors, as well as the analysis of pulsations and vibrations in the piping systems associated with such compressors. However, after contacting some domestic design institutes, the response was that they only carry out calculations related to stress; they do not handle other aspects, nor do they have the capability to do so, and usually leave such tasks to the compressor manufacturers. We have also visited compressor manufacturers; some smaller compressor manufacturers do not carry out pulsation calculations, while larger manufacturers only conduct such calculations for the pipe connections. At present, we are still focusing on the design institutes. As for the compressor manufacturers, which ones would be suitable for us to promote pulse and vibration analysis? After all, this is related to the design institute as well as the owner. I hope experienced experts can offer some guidance.
The pipeline vibration analysis must be provided to our design institute by the supplier; we then use the results of these calculations to determine the appropriate way of securing the pipelines. Some small factories that lack the necessary qualifications will have to entrust you with carrying out the vibration analysis
