Other Details

Piping Network Analysis and Pulsation Analysis Services helps in determining the vibrations in piping systems, reciprocating/ rotating equipment like pumps & compressors that can also excite other structures. These vibrations can also cause following problems:
    High pressure pulsation levels
    Mechanical failure due to fatigue loading
    Acoustical noises especially if system comes in resonance
    Cavitation
We at Mechartés help in providing services to carry out flow, acoustical, structural & pulsation analysis of Piping Network. We also conduct these studies as per American petroleum institute (API) standard API 674 for fluid systems and API 618 for gaseous network. Our well defined design approach also involves pulsation control through use of pulsation control devices that are developed using proven acoustical simulation techniques in conjunction with mechanical analysis of pipe runs & support system for achieving control of vibration response.
The design methodology utilized by us is normally applicable to critical pump & piping systems, multiple pumps in parallel as well as applications utilizing:
    Variable speeds
    Multiple fluids
    Variable operating conditions
As safety and reliability are the most important aspects here, it becomes very essential to document the suitability of the purpose.
Our Services:
    Simulation of acoustical characteristics of entire pump system including pumps & all interconnecting piping
    The simulation models including pulsation generating mechanisms makes us capable of predicting pulsation & shaking force amplitudes throughout pump and piping system
    The simulation method also evaluates effectiveness of selected pulsation control devices
    The acoustical simulation techniques predict the potential of cavitation & determines required minimum suction to prevent cavitation
    The design approach undertaken by us in conjunction with pulsation simulation is required to couple mechanical analysis of piping system and ensure that piping will have adequate supports & clamps to maintain mechanical integrity
    The required spacing & clamp types ensure non resonant piping systems are determined by the simulation
    The mechanical analysis ensures that piping vibration through induced stresses is less than endurance limit of piping material with an adequate safety factor.
