A (natural gas) compressor vendor asked us to design suction and discharge piping system so that its natural frequencies go above 6 Hz. Can anybody tell me from where this 6 Hz is coming?
 

don't you wish the centrifugals didn't have piping/duct vibration issues...
 
BigInch,
My company is facing high vibration problem and i'm not piping engineer even, our compressor piping is designed for 8 Hz frequnecy but eqully supported at 20', is eqully support is creating problem for vibration in our case.
Thanks

I'd be likely to believe, if it is a reciprocating compressor. I'd have to know much more about the system to form some opinion as to what might be causing the problem. Please start a new thread, post the relevant design information and a diagram and we'll have a look. But please start a new thread.

I hate Windowz 8!!!!
