When a piping system is put in service, a number of deteriorating mechanisms start to act. These degrade the piping system and lead to catastrophic failures. The impact and risk of these failures depends on the installation and application of the system. The reliability and fitness for service of the system needs to be monitored on continuous basis. Any sign of piping degradation below the allowable limit must be detected, affirmed, and appropriately repaired. Often, non-destructive testing methods are capable of detecting different types of piping defects, flaws, and deteriorations. Engineers are required to select the appropriate testing and inspection method to apply based on the type of installation and application.

Certificate In Machinery Failure Analysis And Prevention (In association with The George Washington University) Course Overview

Proper specification, selection and sizing are the first steps towards prevention of failures of equipment and systems. Improper operation beyond design operating ranges causes overstressing, overheating and enhanced deterioration of machine components; this accelerates a machine’s failure. Improper maintenance increases the frequency of failure and repairs, thus increasing running costs. Understanding failure modes, corrosion, misalignment, imbalance, overheating, lubrication deterioration all help determine the root causes of failure. Using right techniques like vibration analysis, thermography, and tribology, and different nondestructive testing methods will provide the right data necessary for appropriate troubleshooting exercises. Root Cause Analysis Methodology is the best systematic technique that helps find the root cause of failures. It determines precise causes of failure and provides the appropriate solutions for the problem that once implemented correctly will prevent the future occurrence of the same type of failures.
