CAESAR II vs START-PROF Piping Stress Analysis Software Comparison
In this article, we will compare START-PROF and Caesar II functions. In START-PROF all pipes, fittings, and nodes are objects. Each object has its properties. For example, you can place bend objects...
Underground Piping Stress Analysis Procedure using Caesar II
Several failures in buried piping and pipeline systems over the years forced EPC companies to investigate the stresses the system is experiencing. So, in recent times, stress analysis of underground...
What if Piping Continuation is Unknown? Part 2. Underground Piping
Continued from Part 1 What if Underground Piping Continuation is Unknown? It is necessary to specify the correct boundary conditions while modeling main pipeline stations: valve station, pig...
Many times, as stress guys, we come across complicated and long piping layouts to be modeled in CAESAR II. These may include parallel pump suction/discharge piping, inlet/outlet piping to/from...
What is Slug Flow? Steps for Slug Flow Analysis and Prevention
Slug flow is a phenomenon that occurs in multiphase flow systems, particularly in pipes and pipelines carrying gas and liquid phases. It is characterized by the intermittent presence of large,...
Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by relief valve discharge by an equivalent static method. The relief valve discharge thrust load acts on elbow 28. In Start-Prof it...
