Piping & Pressure Vessels

While MSI is often called upon to solve challenging vibration problems with rotating machinery, successful diagnosis and resolution often requires evaluation of the complete system, including the piping and pressure vessels. Often, the excess vibration captures the attention of the operators, while the underlying root cause is later found to involve the piping. MSI has the necessary instrumentation and data acquisition expertise to measure pressures and strains in these systems, along with the advanced analytic capabilities to predict these values. Our experience allows us to compare experimental against analytic results to uncover the thorniest issues in industrial systems.
