Flow Chart - Wood

This document provides an initial screening process for addressing vibration problems in small-bore piping systems. It evaluates whether standard solutions like gussets or supports can be used, and if not, recommends specialized dampeners, braces, or tuned mass dampers currently under development. The flowchart guides the user through a series of yes/no questions to determine the most suitable solution based on factors like geometry, service temperature, and project design stage.
