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 pipe stress analysis, these various components are idealized into two...
Turbine Piping: Definition, Working Philosophy, Layout Consideration, Stress Analysis, NEMA SM 23
Turbine piping stress analysis is one of the most critical analyses in piping design. It is due to the following reasons Turbines are strain sensitive and have less allowable nozzle...
Spring Hanger Pipe Support Selection Procedure for Piping Stress Analysis
Expert opinion says that among all piping design issues, 20% of issues are directly related to the support design and the other 20% are indirectly related. So overall 40% of the problems in the...
Water Pumping Station Piping Stress Analysis using Flexible Sleeve Coupling
A large number of Piping failures in Very Large Diameter Water pump piping systems forced client companies to consider water pump station piping as a critical system. Pump station piping is normally...
Shell and Tube heat exchangers are frequently used in Oil & Gas, Power plants, Refineries, and Chemical and Petrochemical industries. As piping systems connected to such equipment are considered...
