Analysis of equipment failures as contributors to chemical process accidents

Process Safety and Environmental Protection, 2013
a b s t r a c t A database study of chemical process accident cases was carried out. The objective of the study is was to identify the reasons for equipment based accidents. The most frequent accident causing equipment were piping (25%), reactors and storage tanks (both 14%) and process vessels (10% of equipment accidents).

Decision Support System for Medical Equipment Failure Analysis

2018 9th Cairo International Biomedical Engineering Conference (CIBEC), 2018
Medical equipment management raises a range of complex problems including those associated with maintenance process. In developing countries, hospitals rarely implement a coherent management plan in medical equipment management. One of the most significant challenges is to distinguish medical equipment that requires repair from those require ...

Hierarchy of Controls Analysis for Equipment Failures Prevention

2015
Equipment failures play significant roles in most accidents that occur and recur in the chemical process industry. Many risk reduction strategies were applied to prevent these accidents but the accidents keep on happening. In this study, 50 equipment-related accidents are analyzed based on their comprehensive accident investigation reports, retrieved ...

Analysis and Prevention of Thermally Induced Failures in Electronic Equipment

1994
This paper begins with a discussion of the physical phenomena associated with thermally-induced/accelerated failures, including diffusion-driven and thermo-mechanical failure mechanisms. Attention is then turned to the results of ongoing Northern Telecom “field-return” surveys and to the identification of the factors controlling device field ...

Failure Mode Analysis of Mobile Equipment Hydraulic Leaks

Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, 2012
Leaks in general and hydraulic leaks in specific are one of the major failure modes for mobile equipment. In-plant leak rates may range from 1% to 25%, while field leaks may range from 1% to 13% depending on the complexity of the system, assembly process, and parts quality. In this paper, the main potential leak causes are discussed and the performance
