In this article, We will learn the stress classifications as per ASME B31 and ASME BPVC codes in details. Stress Classification in ASME B31 For performing stress Analysis while designing
A piping system consists of many different components such as bends, elbows, reducers, tees, valves, and flanges. However, in the stress analysis these various components idealize into two types of
What is Stress Intensification Factor or SIF? The term SIF (Stress Intensification Factor) is too confusing for many of the piping engineers. That’s why the following article is taken to
How to use ASME B31J SIF and k-factors in PASS/START-PROF For a long time, there was a need for a standard method to develop stress intensification factors (SIFs or i-factors)
What is a hazardous area? A hazardous area is an area in which an explosive gas atmosphere (flammable gases or vapors, combustible dust, flammable liquids, ignitable fibers, etc.) is present,
Stress Intensity Factor Meaning As per Code ASME Section III, Stress Intensity Factor or SIF is defined as the Fatigue Correlation Factors that compare the fatigue life of Piping Components
