Life Assessment of Valve Component

Subjected to Internal Pressure Loading
Case Study Highlights
Client Profile:
Process Equipment Manufacturer, India
Objective:
Analyzing valve component subjected to internal
pressure for fatigue cyclic loading
Challenges:
Determining loading conditions to perform static
=

Control valves in process industries are often subjected to

cyclic pressure loadings causing premature failure, leading
towards frequent replacement. As such, designing the
valves require considering the effects of fatigue loading
cycle to evaluate its lifecycle.
Process equipment manufacturer from India approached HiTech to seek assistance in evaluating the design of their
newly developed valve component subjected to internal
pressure loading cycles using simulation techniques.

structural analysis
=
Obtaining accurate S-N curve to estimate

fatigue lifecycle
=
Selecting suitable elements in meshing to

capture accurate deformation

The Solution
The valve component was analyzed using finite element
method to determine the structural strength against the

Solution:

internal pressure loading. In order to assess the fatigue

The finite element analysis to estimate fatigue

lifecycle of the valve component was performed.
The results based on the S-N curve showed that the
valve component design was found to be safe for
14000 pressure loading cycles.

lifecycle, the data from the S-N curve for the component
material was utilized. The results showed that the mean
stress value during 14000 pressure loading cycles was well
within the acceptable range. Hence, the valve component
design was predicted to behave safe during the expected
lifecycle without premature failure.

Benefits
=
Considerably reduced prototyping trials to evaluate useful lifecycle of the component
=
Better insights on design modifications for alternate applications
=
Reduced manufacturing time
