Modeling Fired Heater Piping Connection is a bit tricky as the pipe is not welded to a fired heater shell similar to ordinary equipment. The heater has a hole, the pipe runs through that hole inside...
Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by slug flow loads using the static method. Additional dynamic loads caused by the slugs hitting the bends and tees must be...
Stress Analysis of Buried or Underground piping seems to be difficult for many stress engineers due to the complex soil-pipe interaction. But the software Caesar II easily handles that part. In...
Consideration of Flanged Elbow or Flanged Bend in Stress Analysis
What is a Flanged Elbow? Flanged pipe bends or flanged elbows are piping elbows connected with flange fitting to fitting. This means there is no spool or pipe piece in between the elbow endpoint(...
What if Piping Continuation is Unknown? Part 1. Above Ground Piping
What if Above Ground Piping Continuation is Unknown? The correct model and boundary conditions are very important for accurate piping stress analysis. Unfortunately, some inexperienced piping...
