What is Thermal Bowing?

The thermal bowing phenomenon occurs when a horizontal pipe is filled partially by hot or cold fluid (LNG). Many thermal bowing occurrences cause unexpected damage to the piping or supporting...

Modular Piping Design- How to do a Piping Stress Analysis

The idea of modular design is as follows: The complex piping system is divided into several modules that are mounted on a frame structure. Modules can be transported to the site and joined to each...

K-FACTORs (MINOR LOSSES) – HOW WE CALCULATE THEM?

K-factor for incompressible liquid One of the most typical questions asked by process or hydraulic engineers is what is the value of hydraulic resistance (K-factor) of piping component (fitting,...

How to perform the buckling analysis of Vacuum Piping

Buckling analysis for Vacuum Piping Systems is very important that every piping stress engineer should perform while analyzing Vacuum Piping. Vacuum piping analysis in the START-PROF software is...

Load Case Editor vs Operation Mode Editor

START-PROF has Smart Operation Mode Editor instead of Load Case Editor. When you add new load F or support movement D in CAESAR II , you must add it into load case editor manually, thinking...

START-PROF Piping Stress Video Training Series [In-Depth]

Before starting this video series let tell you some basic idea of Pass/Start-Prof. What is PASS/START-PROF? Piping And Equipment Analysis & Sizing Suite or PASS/START-PROF is a...
