Seismic Protection for Pressure Piping Systems
In recent U.S. earthquakes, most damage has occurred because of failures in a building’s nonstructural components. Pressure piping systems in industrial processing facilities are particularly vulnerable to seismic damage. If systems are not properly detailed or maintained, business owners can incur significant losses due to property damage or production shutdowns. Here are some ideas for keeping your pressure piping as safe as possible from seismic damage.

Designers have many options available to connect high-temperature fluid loop piping with moving collectors that track the sun in large-scale, parabolic trough, solar thermal power plants. The “quality” of these connections, mainly relating to reliability, lifetime, and maintainability, has improved with better hardware and new configurations, and larger trough designs are testing new applications of traditional technologies.
