Acoustic Induced VibrationJanuary 16th, 2007, 3:05 pm by Bob Bruce

CSTI Acoustics offers analysis of Acoustic Induced Vibration (AIV) for flare systems. AIV can occur downstream of pressure relief valves under certain pressure and flow conditions. The generated sound power is so intense that the piping can vibrate in a circumferential mode. Small connections subjected to the intense sound and vibration can fail. CSTI analyzes the situations and develops solutions to the problem.
