quench part of the cycle in the East-West direction.• The two drums vibrated in a comparable manner both
from magnitude and frequency standpoints. • The maximum recorded peak displacements were 0 58The maximum recorded peak displacements were 0.58,
0.35, and 0.23 inches for the drums, the piping, and the structure, respectively.
• Measured dynamic strains in the structure were below• Measured dynamic strains in the structure were below the fatigue-inducing levels

CASE-2 SUMMARYCASE-2 SUMMARY• Vibrations and pressure are not the main problem.
• The failure is caused by severe thermal transients that generate 92 ksi stress range in the pipe at the locationgenerate 92 ksi stress range in the pipe at the location of cracks.
R d i i i i d i• Recommendations to minimize stresses and increase fatigue life:
• Redesigned integral fitting.
• Fatigue-resistant welds.
