Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by slug flow loads using static method. Additional dynamic loads caused by the slugs hitting the bends and tees must be...

Stress Analysis of Buried or Underground piping seems to be difficult for many stress engineers due to the complex soil pipe interaction. But the software Caesar II easily handles that part.  In...

This article is intended to serve as a guide in the development of equipment layout and piping layout for centrifugal compressors and their associated equipment, with the goal of producing safe,...

External loads on static equipment nozzle flange joints must be assessed in order to comply with code requirements. In general, except for the flanged joints at high temperatures, the external forces...

A pipe reducer is a type of pipe fitting that reduces the nominal bore from a bigger inner diameter to a smaller inner diameter. Piping and Pipeline Systems are not of uniform size and there is a...

What is a Flanged Elbow? Flanged pipe bends or flanged elbows are piping elbows connected with flange fitting to fitting. This means there is no spool or pipe piece in between the elbow endpoint(...
