SUMMARY:Reliable Plant and Machinery Lubrication Conference and Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:It takes more than just knowledge of key concepts and best practices to create or improve a reliability program. How many times have you attended a conference session and thought\, “This is good information\, but how can I actually apply it at my plant?” This year\, Reliable Plant 2023 is designed to help you do just that. \nEvery Workshop\, Keynote\, and Action Session is designed to provide you with practical plans and actionable advice you can apply immediately back at the plant. Other session formats will also be available\, such as live podcast episodes\, debates\, group exercises\, games\, tech demos and more. \nDon’t Miss  Charli K. Matthews’ presentation:\n\nReliability is a Behavioral Science: How Your Communication Style Affects Culture and Behavior\nDate: Wednesday\, August 2\, 2023\, 1:30 pm – 2:20 pm \nRoom: Grand Sierra Ballroom F-I | Reliability Stage \n\nThe problem in today’s leadership is that we don’t know how to create lasting change through influencing our teams to buy into our vision. This can be from solving workforce issues or launching a new product. Much of the issue is that we don’t effectively communicate the changes needed and why. In this keynote\, we will go through tips and strategies that will allow for effective communication within a team to get to the root cause of the roadblock(s). The result is a better chance of having team members’ ideas heard to create lasting change within their organizations.

SUMMARY:What happens to your Visual Report when you bring your model into new versions featuring Layers?
DESCRIPTION:Squash the learning curve of your new reporting interface (and friend)\, Layers. \nYou have an AFT model made in a previous version. Sweet. Then you open it in a new version. Less sweet. Something is always different and will throw you off. The same is true this round\, but no need to fear! \nYou are used to Visual Report for viewing results; however\, we changed the process to overlay that information directly on your Workspace drawing. Don’t be intimidated! This webinar will show you the way. Layers will improve your life. Trust us… \nPresenter: Walt Prentice\, Business Applications Engineer II

SUMMARY:Compressed System Noise Prediction
DESCRIPTION:AFT Arrow 10 has been enhanced with a noise calculation at a pressure-reducing device\, to help engineers avoid failures caused by AIV based on Energy Institute guidelines. \nHigh-Frequency Acoustic Excitation (AIV）\n– In a gas system\, high levels of high-frequency acoustic energy can be generated by a pressure-reducing device such as a relief valve\, control valve\, or orifice plate.\n– Acoustic fatigue is of particular concern as it tends to affect safety-related (e.g. relief and blowdown) systems.\n– In addition\, the time to failure is short (typically a few minutes or hours) due to the pipe’s high-frequency response.\nJoin us as we model an example of how to use this feature. \nPresenter: Reinaldo Pinto\, Technical Sales Director \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:A Look at an Engineering Failure
DESCRIPTION:In 2016\, a waterhammer event occurred at an alumina refinery which caused a slurry pump to catastrophically fail. Like many engineering failures\, this one was a result of several independent issues combining in time and space to cause a catastrophic failure. This webinar will review the event\, root cause of the failure\, and guidance on best practices engineers could incorporate in their surge mitigation plans to proactively prevent waterhammer incidents. \nPresenter: Trey Walters\, PE

SUMMARY:Model Twice\, Cut Once: Calibration Approaches in AFT Software
DESCRIPTION:A model in AFT software is only a representation of a physical system. Properly calibrating a model to field data is often the first step in hydraulic analysis\, ensuring changes to the model will be reflected by the physical system. \nThere is often uncertainty when modeling existing systems\, modifying piping and components to capture degradation\, identifying inaccurate drawings or datasheets\, or capturing unusual components as resistance curves. \nThis webinar will highlight some features and approaches to calibrate your AFT software model to field data\, providing a strong foundation to modify and improve operation. \nPresenter: Nick Vastine \nWednesday\, November 15\, 2023\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (MST)

SUMMARY:Meeting Code for Pipeline Pressure Surges: ASME B31.4
DESCRIPTION:Pressure surge (aka\, waterhammer) analysis is not just a good idea\, it is required in part by code – specifically ASME B31.4 for pipelines. It guides you to look at cases of variation from normal operation to ensure pressures don’t go too crazy. That requires doing some calcs. \nMany engineers are intimidated by the topic\, but we are here to show you the way. Using simulation software\, like AFT Impulse\, does the heavy lifting in doing these analyses to ensure your pipeline meets code. \nPresenter: Walt Prentice\, Business Applications Engineer II \nRegister Here
