5. EI Guidelines Matter
EI AVIFF (2nd Ed., 2008):
Complements existing
frameworks like API 570 for
mechanical integrity.
Focus on safety-critical and
production-critical systems.

6. Key Components of EI Guidelines
Excitation Mechanisms:
Flow-induced turbulence (FIT)
Mechanical excitation and pulsation
High-frequency acoustic excitation (AIV)
Screening Tools:
Qualitative assessments
Detailed design evaluations
Actionable Insights:
Recommendations for clamps, braces, flow limits, and
speed ranges.

Case Study Insights
• Assessment Scope:
• Mechanical excitation in static pipework.
• Flow-Induced Vibration (FIV) on process pipework.
• Acoustic-Induced Vibration (AIV) on flare systems.
• Outcomes:
• Identified priority actions, including immediate and long-term measures.
• Implementation of engineered solutions (e.g., anti-vibration braces).

• Adopt EI Guidelines:
• As part of NTI SOL integrity management strategy.
• Leverage Screening Tools:
• Implement tools like Veridian for risk assessments.
• Train Personnel:
• Ensure teams understand and apply EI recommendations effectively.
Recommendations
