Description - Pressure Systems Casebook by John Wintle
Pressure Systems Casebook contains a collection of papers
drawn from two IMechE seminars that will be of particular interest
to students and engineers who want to broaden their knowledge and
learn from experience and history.
The authors' backgrounds cover a range of perspectives, from
representing industrial users of pressure systems to regulators,
research, and engineering consultants.
Complete contents:
Lessons from failures of gas cylinders used for dispensing
beverages
Experience from Health and Safety laboratory
investigations
Insurance aspects of pressure systems failures
Failure investigation for commercial purposes - system failures
leading to the collapse of storage vessels under partial
vacuum
Reliable technical failure investigation
Failure design procedures in the new European Pressure Vessel
Standard EN 13445
Causes of vibration fatigue in process pipework - a new
methodology to assess the risk
Avoiding vibration-induced fatigue failures in process
pipework
Lessons learned from pressure system failures
Pressure systems contain stored energy and the threat of
damaging failure is ever present. Failures of pressure
systems still occur and are costly to those affected; yet the main
causes, consequences, and methods of investigation are not widely
known. Pre-existing defects are a major cause of failures and
near-failures in pressure systems, yet many can be avoided by
greater awareness of the circumstances in which they arise.
