Natural frequency is determined by the physical properties of a piping system, like mass and stiffness, without any external driving force. This natural frequency in a piping system is affected by...
Category: Piping Stress Analysis
Dynamic Pipe Stress Analysis is a specialized engineering evaluation used to assess how piping systems respond to time-dependent (dynamic) loads, such as: Seismic activity (earthquakes) Water...
In the piping engineering industry, the terms FIV, AIV, and Random-Vibrations refer to different types of vibration phenomena that can affect the integrity and safety of piping systems. In recent...
Differences in Thermal Elongation & Load Between FRP and CS Pipes
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastics (FRP) pipes, also known as Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) pipes, are widely used across various industries, including petrochemical and desalination plants, and can be...
The Y factor is a dimensionless coefficient used for calculating the required wall thickness (t) for thin-walled pipes under internal pressure. According to Equation 3a of ASME B31.3, for determining...
GRE Design Envelope (Failure envelope) is a 2-dimensional (2D) graphical plot of hoop stress and axial stress that provides safe operating conditions of GRE piping/pipeline system when subjected to...
