A flexibility analysis is not a luxury, it is a prevention tool. We evaluate loads, anchors, displacements and efforts according to international regulations to avoid catastrophic failures. Learn how to optimize your system before problems arise.
| Appearance | Consider it as Cost | Consider it as an Investment |
| FINANCIAL APPROACH | It is perceived as an additional expense in project engineering. | It is understood as an investment to guarantee reliability and security of the system. |
| IMPACT ON THE INITIAL BUDGET | Increases the design cost of the project. | Optimize the design avoiding later cost overruns. |
| STRUCTURAL RISK | It can lead to omitting analysis and generating excessive stresses in the pipe. | Allows you to verify efforts according to codes such as ASME B31.1 or B31.3. |
| SYSTEM RELIABILITY | Greater probability of failure due to thermal expansion or vibrations. | Reduces failures in pipes, flanges, equipment and supports. |
| MAINTENANCE COSTS | Higher frequency of repairs and plant shutdowns. | Less corrective maintenance. |
| PIPE USEFUL LIFE | It can be reduced by thermal fatigue or excessive efforts. | Increases the useful life of the system. |
| INDUSTRIAL SAFETY | Increased risk of leaks or ruptures. | Improves operational safety. |
| ECONOMIC RETURN | Does not generate direct value. | Reduces losses due to failures, shutdowns and repairs. |
| IMPACT ON CONNECTED EQUIPMENT | Can generate excessive loads on pumps, valves and equipment. | Protects equipment by controlling loads and movements. |
| LONG-TERM VALUE | Limited benefit. | High technical and economic value in the operation of the system. |
