Types of Metals and Their Classification
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
Stress Classification in Pressure Vessels and Piping as per ASME B31 and BPVC Codes
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
Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), Flexibility Factor: ASME B31.3 vs ASME B31J
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
Piping Elbow or Bend SIF (Stress Intensification Factor)
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-2017 and FEM for SIF and k-factors for Stress Analysis
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)
