Analysis of Failure of Gas Compressor Piston Rod

  • Published:
Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

An algorithm and results of analysis of gas compressor piston rod failure causing shutdown of the compressor are elucidated. It is shown that the rod failure occurred due to formation and growth of fatigue fractures in the thread roots having design incongruity. Recommendations are offered for increasing fatigue life and prevention of compressor piston rod failure.
