Pipes are defined as circular tubular products used for conveying fluids (liquids, gases, and fluidized solids). Pipes are designed for a particular design pressure corresponding to design temperature. Various parameters
User-defined SIF is the stress intensification factor that the user input in the stress analysis program. The SIF values are usually calculated using FEA programs and then manually entered in
The term “Metal” is originated from the Greek word “metallon” which means “mine, quarry, metal”. A metal is defined as a material that forms positive ions by losing electrons during
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
