Piping Stress Analysis is simply creating the load cases required for analysis and studying the impact of the same on the behavior of the critical piping systems. A load case can be defined as a set...

Applicability of Caesar II for stress analysis of lines having D/t ratio more than 100
Sometimes while working you may have come across situations when the pipe diameter to thickness ratio becomes more than 100. These normally happen for very large-size low-pressure systems. Due to low...
The thermal bowing phenomenon occurs when a horizontal pipe is filled partially by hot or cold fluid (LNG). Many thermal bowing occurrences cause unexpected damage to the piping or supporting...
Pipe Stress Analysis Report Preparation for Issuing to the Client
Proper documentation of the stress calculation performed using Caesar II or any other stress analysis software is very important as the report or documents are the final deliverables to the client....
A sway brace is a mechanical device used in process and power plants to reduce the vibration tendency by absorbing shock loadings. They contain a spring-loaded mechanism that provides opposing force...
Flange Leakage Checking by Pressure Equivalent Method in Caesar II
Hopefully, all of you have gone through my post on Methods for checking flange leakage. In that article, I mentioned the theoretical background (analysis criteria, the basic theory behind flange...
