Deformations in storage tanks

Deformations-in-storage-tanks

When deformations appear in existing storage tanks, both atmospheric and low pressure, which exceed the maximum defined in the API 653 standard, the immediate step is to analyze the serviceability of the equipment (1) to guarantee an acceptable level of safety and accurately determine its remaining life (2) as well. (1) FFS – Fitness For […]

Appearance of cracks in pressure equipment

Appearance of cracks in pressure equipment

The failure mechanism due to brittle fracture in pressure equipment manifests itself as a rapid and unexpected fracture since it occurs without prior plastic deformation. In order to reduce the risk of brittle breakage, the correct evaluation and inspection of this equipment are essential to detect possible cracks that trigger these failure processes. The usual […]

What is risk-based inspection (RBI)?

RISK BASE ON INSPECTION

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) methodology is a quantitative approach for establishing an inspection program using risk-based methods for static pressurized equipment, including pressure vessels, piping, tanks, pressure-relief devices (PRDs), and heat exchanger tube bundles, among others. Content Codes and standards The following RBI international standards and codes are within the most relevant: API 580 – Risk […]

The role of digital twins in decision making in industrial plants

Digital Twin

We are currently immersed in one of the greatest challenges, and at the same time longing, of the industrial sector: having the largest and best amount of information possible in relation to its assets, processes and products. Taking the foregoing as a premise, it is therefore essential to obtain, control and analyze fast and reliable […]

Design and FEM analysis of equipment and conductors made of fiber reinforced plastic (FRP)

Design and FEM Analysis of equipment and conductors made of FRP

There are many sectors (chemical and process industry, naval, aeronautical or food sector) and industrial applications in which it is necessary to design and validate equipment made with special materials (FRP- Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic), due to to the special corrosion resistance requirements for which they have to provide service. This is the case of pressure […]

Study of deformations and the prestressing process in pressure equipment flanges

EN Estudio de deformaciones y del proceso de pretensado en bridas de equipos a presion

The flanged joints of pressure equipment can show deformations due to the bolt tightening process, or being generated later during service. The appearance of this type of problem may mean that the equipment is not suitable to continue with the operation, with the consequent economic impact that would entail a stop, repair or replacement of […]
