Vibration Case Study: “Crack"ing the Root Cause

At Inter Pipeline Ltd. (IPL), a petroleum transportation, storage and natural gas liquids processing company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a cracked weld on the suction side of a three-inch, schedule 80 balance line of a four-stage MSD mainline pump was discovered during routine monthly vibration routes. As a result, all seven identical pumps were inspected in situ using magnetic particle examination.

The New Generation of Online Vibration Analysis

The Vibration Fault Periodic Table concept was created and introduced to the public in an article published in the June/July 2012 Uptime® magazine. The original concept was designed to classify vibration faults in the form of a periodic table of the elements. That is to say, the faults were grouped according to frequency content and dominant direction or response. This format was found to be very useful in gaining a better understanding of the nature of each individual vibration fault, as well as providing the analyst with a quick assessment tool for determining the likely root cause for a particular problem in the field.
