What is Piping Flexibility? Requirement of Flexibility in Piping Design
Requirement of Flexibility Providing the required flexibility for absorbing the thermal movements of the piping system is one of the important activities in piping design. A rigid piping system...
Several ASME B31 & EN 13480 Issues Needed to Know for Pipe Stress Engineer
Axial Stress from Pressure Load, Axial Force and Torsion Moment This issue leads to serious under-estimation sustained and expansion stresses in pipes and fittings in ASME B31.1-2018, ASME...
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...
Use of Dynamic Restraints Whenever unplanned dynamic events occur, Dynamic restraints carry the responsibility of protecting the piping and other components from damage. Undesirable abrupt...
What is the Tee branch connection? A tee branch connection is a type of piping fitting that allows for the branching of a pipeline into two or more directions, typically at a 90-degree angle. This...
Design Considerations for a Piping System with an Expansion Bellow
When Expansion Bellow is Required in a Piping System? Expansion Joints or Expansion bellows are mechanical devices that absorb thermal movement. It consists of one or more metallic or non-metallic...
