Overview of Lateral Buckling and Upheaval Buckling of Pipelines
Long pipelines are often subjected to lateral and upheaval buckling. Both upheaval and lateral buckling can induce excessive bending stresses in the pipeline that may lead to pipeline failure. In...

In this article, We will learn the stress classifications as per ASME B31 and ASME BPVC codes in details.Stress Classification in ASME B31For performing stress Analysis while designing a...
Importance of Bourdon Effect, True and Effective Axial Force
Bourdon Effect in PipelinesBourdon Effect is associated with the pressure elongation of the piping and pipeline systems. In piping and pipeline systems, elbows or bends are frequently...
Creep Rupture Usage Factor for Allowable Variations in Elevated Temperature Service
Appendix V of ASME B31.3-2018 code covers the application of the Linear Life Fraction Rule, which provides a method for evaluating variations at elevated temperatures above...
Hopefully, by now all the Caesar II users are aware that the latest version of the piping stress analysis software Caesar II version 12.0 has already released by Hexagon. Like every year they...
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...
