Surge can be a major challenge for turbocompressors. Operation in the surge area will result in an instability, exposing the machine to destructive stresses and forces, high vibration, and even serious damage.

Many factors once considered negligible in ordinary piping may become significant for piping connected to turbomachinery.

There are many reasons for turbomachinery problems and failures. Resonance, for example, is often overlooked.
