Introduction to the failure modes of pressure transducers Pressure transducers, also known as pressure sensors or pressure transmitters, convert pressure into an analog or digital electrical signal. Like other electronic components, pressure transducers can experience a variety of failure modes. Understanding these failure modes can be crucial for ensuring accurate measurements and overall system safety.… Continue reading Common Failure Modes of Pressure Transducers

Introduction to the different types of failure safety When we talk about making sure stuff like your big, bad pressure cookers (yeah, those massive pressure vessels) don’t go boom or cause a ruckus if they decide to throw a tantrum, we’re diving into what the brains in the biz call “failure safety.” It’s all about… Continue reading Types of Failure Safety Methods

Introduction to the failure modes of ships Ships, due to their vast sizes, complex systems, and the challenging marine environments in which they operate, are susceptible to a range of failure modes. Understanding these modes is crucial for improving ship design, maintenance, and operational procedures. Here are some of the prominent failure modes for ships:… Continue reading Prominent Failure Modes of Ships

Introduction to the type 4 pressure vessel Type 4 pressure vessels are the real MVPs when it comes to holding compressed gases like hydrogen and CNG (that’s compressed natural gas, folks). Imagine these as the beefed-up fuel tanks for those rides running on gas but not the usual kind. They’re sorted into this “Type 4”… Continue reading Type 4 Pressure Vessel

Introduction to the fourth step of FMEA Severity Rating: Assesses the seriousness of the effect of a potential failure mode. Occurrence Rating: Estimates the likelihood or frequency of the failure mode happening. Effects of the Failure: Each failure mode is evaluated for its potential impact or consequences on the system or the end user. Detection… Continue reading The fourth step in the standard FMEA process is assigning a Detection Rating.

Introduction to the many failure modes are there in FMEA Peeling back the layers on Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), it’s kinda like a deep dive into what could go wrong with the stuff we make or do, and figuring out how bad it could get. Think of it as a way to spot… Continue reading Understanding Failure Modes in FMEA

Introduction to the 4th type of business model failure Those big-shots like the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) in the States have a ton of rules for making sure pressure vessels are up to snuff. But sometimes, folks either don’t get the memo, try to sneak around it, or just goof up. If you… Continue reading Types of Business Model Failures in the Pressure Vessel Industry

Introduction to the most common type of failure The concept of “failure” is broad and context-dependent. Therefore, the most common type of failure varies depending on the field or context in which the question is asked. Here are some contexts and the associated common failures: Materials Science and Engineering: Fatigue: This occurs due to repeated… Continue reading Common Types of Failure in Various Fields

Introduction to the six modes of failure Mechanisms of failure encompass the diverse ways materials or components might deteriorate or break down under varying circumstances. In the realm of materials science and engineering, there are several predominant mechanisms of failure, and understanding them is crucial for making informed decisions in materials selection, design, and maintenance.… Continue reading Comprehensive Overview of Material Failure Mechanisms: From Yielding to Thermal Shock

Introduction to the failure modes classification Failure modes classification provides a structured way to categorize the potential failures of a system or component based on their characteristics and causes. The classification enables better communication among professionals and facilitates systematic approaches to risk assessment, design, and maintenance. Here’s a broad classification of failure modes: Nature of… Continue reading Types of Failure Modes Classification
