Vibration Analysis & Monitoring
Vibration-related nuclear plant piping problems — whether in small-bore piping, socket welds, large-bore piping, or anywhere in between — can be difficult to resolve. Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SI), with years of experience in structural dynamics, stress analysis, vibration testing and analysis, and applied mechanics and materials, can step in to solve nuclear plant vibration issues. Examples of recent vibration-related SI projects include evaluation of the effects of power uprate on small-bore piping, and design and implementation of a vibration monitoring system for main steam piping. Using its vibration expertise, SI has developed customized data acquisition systems that collect and analyze vibration monitoring data, including the portable SI-MiniDAS© and the high-speed, automated SI-VersaDAS©. These systems are used for SI projects and are available for purchase or lease by utilities.For information, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
