Importance of Bourdon Effect, True and Effective Axial Force
Bourdon Effect on Pipelines Bourdon Effect is associated with the pressure elongation of the piping and pipeline systems. In piping and pipeline systems, elbows or bends are frequently used for...
Creep Rupture Usage Factor for Allowable Variations in Elevated Temperature Service
Appendix V of ASME B31.3 code covers the application of the Linear Life Fraction Rule, which provides a method for evaluating variations at elevated temperatures above design conditions where...
Hopefully, by now all the Caesar II users are aware that the latest version of the piping stress analysis software Caesar II version 12.0 has already been released by Hexagon. Like every year they...
Surface Laid Pipelines, as the name suggests, are Pipelines that are laid on the surface of the loose desert sand without any restraints. These unrestrained pipelines, unlike the other unrestrained...
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...
