Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by slug flow loads using static method.Additional dynamic loads caused by the slugs hitting the bends and tees must be...
Category: Caesar II
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...
You must be aware that in most of the situation flanges are attached near elbows or bends (Near Control Valve assembly and equipment nozzles). This rigid attachment exerts a severe restraining force...
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...
Tutorial: Basics of Sustained & Expansion Stresses in Piping system
In piping stress analysis, both the subject terms i.e, Sustained Stress and Expansion Stress are widely used. For all the piping systems which needs analysis, the calculated sustained and expansion...
Flange Leakage checking in Caesar II using ASME Section VIII method
My last two articles on flange leakage explain the basic theory behind flange leakage checking and methods for performing flange leakage checking using the pressure equivalent method. In this...
