RECOVIB Tiny in use on Tours bridge
RECOVIB Tiny used on a Pedestrian Bridge in Tours, France RECOVIB Tiny used on a Pedestrian Bridge in Tours, France RECOVIB Tiny For Vibration Measurements In the city of Tours, in France, a new footbridge has been constructed. As part of commissioning, vibration measurements are carried out. By means of modal [...]
A reliable real-time vibration monitoring system for Cristal Pigments UK Ltd
THE CHALLENGE—We have worked on a wide range of projects for our client Cristal Global and our knowledge of vibrating systems has enabled us to develop a bespoke vibration monitoring system. Early projects with them led to the realisation that two of their support structures were in trouble because of continuous vibration imposed by violent chemical reactions in the process vessel. THE [...]
Radiation Detector Mount: Vibration Analysis for Symetrica
Symetrica is a global leader in radiation detection and identification equipment. Their range of products, from handheld devices to mobile solutions, is used in border protection, law enforcement, military and emergency applications. DC White were able to assist Symetrica in the development of a shock-resistant enclosure for their detection equipment, to be mounted on vehicle roofs. Symetrica is a global leader [...]
Vibration analysis on optical laser
The Good the Bad and the Wrong One of our clients was experiencing trouble with unacceptable levels of vibration seen at optical laser used for laser interferometer. This problem was confounded by the additional requirement of a more stringent specification requirement on entering a new market. DC White were brought on board as design partners to develop a solution which would work in the new market [...]
Vibration Case Study Shorts
1. 3801 VIBRATING CONVEYOR The support structure for this conveyor system is over 10 m tall and utilises anti-vibration mounts (AVMs). The requirement was to establish that these AVM's were fit for purpose and that their transmitted vibration would not lead to fatigue cracks in the structure. This involved a mix of vibration theory and finite element analysis. Special attention was required for the design of bracing [...]
Piping Stress Analysis – Europa Crown
This project provided piping stress analysis for Europa Crown. The problem The project involved a piping stress analysis for several steam and condensate lines which are part of a large vegetable oil refinery. The client had no previous experience with pipework construction and needed to know where, and how, the system should be supported. Once the supports had been added to the system, it was substantiated [...]
Bespoke Modelling on a Re-boiler – Chemical Plant
Thermal analysis – bespoke modelling This case study describes an analysis performed earlier this year on a Heavy-End re-boiler, which was identified with a potential thermal transient problem. The heat exchanger is normally used for heating a flow of hazardous liquor with a pressurised steam flow. The vessel is a horizontal cylinder with 2 dished ends which create end plenums, capped by 2 tube-sheets 9m apart. [...]
Piping Safety Assessment at Major Chemical Plant
Background One of our major clients needed to extend the life of an ailing pipeline which had significant visible corrosion. It was commercially critical for the client to continue running the plant until the next scheduled maintenance period. Our job was to analyse the pipeline in its corroded condition and evaluate its on-going suitability for service. The Problem The line in question carried both toxic [...]
Vibrating Systems
Our extensive knowledge of vibration problems has enabled us to aid our client, Cristal Global, in many ways. Our early work made us realise that the support structure was in trouble because of the continuous vibration, so we suggested that the vessel support be totally redesigned. Our extensive knowledge of vibration problems has enabled us to aid our client, Cristal Global, in [...]
