Overview of Lateral Buckling and Upheaval Buckling of Pipelines (With PDF)
Long pipelines are often subjected to lateral and upheaval buckling. Both upheaval and lateral buckling can induce excessive bending stresses in the pipeline that may lead to pipeline failure. In...

In this article, We will learn the stress classifications as per ASME B31 and ASME BPVC codes in detail. Stress Classification in ASME B31 For performing stress analysis while designing a...
Importance of Bourdon Effect, True and Effective Axial Force (With PDF)
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...
