Vibrations in hydrocarbon pipelines: How to detect and prevent failures

Author: Ing. Mayuly Rodríguez, February 6, 2024.
The detection and prevention of vibrations in hydrocarbon pipelines is of utmost importance. It is not only about protecting the physical integrity of the pipelines and associated systems, but also about protecting the environment and the safety of workers and communities. Additionally, uncontrolled vibrations can lead to a decrease in operational efficiency, increase maintenance costs, and reduce equipment life.
