I dont know Imran, but I doubt you could use CII to fix a problem
related to piping vibration. Get a vibration analyst arm with a tool
to measure velocity and frequency to figure out the mode shape and
severity (before and after) - is the way i would approach this.
I would realy like to get an example of piping having a high
vibration severity that was fixed using exclsuively CII.
For the newbies, my suggestion is to Check out several articles that
appeared in Engineering Dynamics related to piping vibration. Or
better yet the SwRI paper (no its not posted in their website but if
u knew somebody who have used the services of SwRI before then get
of copy of the their fine article written about piping vibration -
its very good).
