The dynamic response of piping system with gasketed flanged joints at various temperatures is studied using finite element analysis. FE simulation with thermo-mechanical analysis is performed, followed by modal and harmonic analysis. Important parameters affecting the vibration are discussed. Temperature of internal fluid induces thermal stresses which influence the natural frequencies significantly. A comparison has been made between metal gasket and spiral wound gasket. Results show that the natural frequencies corresponding to particular modes are influenced by the type of gasket used.
► We examine dynamic response of piping system at various temperatures. ► Thermo-mechanical analysis is performed followed by modal and harmonic analysis. ► The temperature of internal fluid influences the natural frequencies significantly. ► Natural frequencies and modes are also influenced by type of gasket used. ► Natural frequency is varied by12.3% for first bending mode shape.
