From Gap Analysis to SEEMP Part III: Building the Corrective Action Plan That Works

A regulatory process guide for compliance officers, DPAs, technical directors, and chartering managers. The trigger for a mandatory Corrective Action Plan is short and unambiguous. As Ingeniat’s gap-analysis overview puts it: “three consecutive D ratings or a single E rating triggers a mandatory Corrective Action Plan (CAP) under SEEMP Part …

On Data Analysis

We are facing a new industrial revolution, where machines and sensors can connect to your IT infrastructure to provide more profound insight into your business and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

With the advent of this new paradigm, systems and monitoring applications are producing enormous amounts of actionable data allowing for cost optimization, prediction of future events, behavior classification, quality control, and a number of other functionalities.

 

The connection of sensors from remote locations to your local or remote IT infrastructure can be undertaken in a seamless manner through a low cost, energy efficient, and secure Internet of Things (IoT) network. Business intelligence overviews can be generated, alerts programmed and additional functionality plugged in and actioned based upon the received and analyzed data. Moreover, Machine learning (ML) models can be generated allowing for prediction on most valuable operational parameters. Find out how we can help by downloading our data analysis brochure.

Flange Bolt Torque Application

Flange Bolt Torque Pro is a browser-based engineering tool that calculates bolt torque, verifies joint integrity, and manages assembly records for flanged pipe connections.

Built across four major versions through a rigorous audit cycle, it implements the full ASME PCC-1-2019 torque formula, a class-dependent ASME B16.5 bolt database covering NPS ½”–24″ across all six pressure classes, and the complete ASME VIII Division 1 Appendix 2 dual-load gasket model — computing both the seating load (W_seat = πGby) and the operating load under pressure (W_op = π/4·G²·P + 2b·π·G·m·P) and identifying which governs.

Finite Element Analysis Benchmarking

We are in the process of integrating a new FEA software package into our workflow, and we are currently running a batch of example tests, some of them based upon classic textbook problems, some of them based upon benchmarking guidelines from recognized analysis packages (ie, Abaqus, etc).

The basic idea behind this approach is if a classical solution can be emulated using FEA then it can constitute a good verification of the accuracy of the FEA software package, as well as our analysis skills.

This approach is not without fault, however, as most classical textbook cases are simplified problems configured in a specific manner which facilitates manual calculation and solving, and which in some cases can be counterintuitive to model in a FEA simulation, specially in what pertains to boundary conditions.

 

Join us in this process, feel free to download our current brochure and request copies of the benchmarking tests, or the open source FEA package we are currently integrating, and feel free to participate by suggesting new benchmarks or case studies. Besides these files we can also grant access to our remote simulation and analysis environment, as well as our remote postprocessing tool, based upon Paraview Glance.
