Consideration of Flanged Elbow or Flanged Bend in Stress Analysis (PDF)
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...
In piping stress analysis, both the subject terms i.e, Sustained Stress and Expansion Stress are widely used. For all the piping systems which need analysis, the calculated sustained and expansion...
ASME Section VIII Flange Leakage Checking Method in Caesar II (PDF)
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...
Recent changes in ASME B31.3 and their implementation in CAESAR II
This presentation is prepared by Mr. Deepak Sethia (working in Imagegrafix software) who has extensive experience in using Caesar II software and troubleshooting. The points that will be covered in...
