Underground Piping Stress Analysis Procedure using Caesar II
Several failures in buried piping and pipeline systems over the years forced EPC companies to investigate the stresses the system is experiencing. So, in recent times, stress analysis of underground...

14 major changes in ASME B31.3-2016 with respect to its earlier edition (ASME B31.3-2014) Most of you are aware that the latest edition of Process Piping Bible (ASME B31.3-2016) is issued on 31st...
A Lifting lug is a plate with a hole in it. As the term specifies, lifting lugs are used for lifting. The hole is sized to fit a clevis pin. Using lifting lugs combined with the clevis pins, loads...
What if Piping Continuation is Unknown? Part 2. Underground Piping
Continued from Part 1 What if Underground Piping Continuation is Unknown? It is necessary to specify the correct boundary conditions while modeling main pipeline stations: valve station, pig...
Many times, as stress guys, we come across complicated and long piping layouts to be modeled in CAESAR II. These may include parallel pump suction/discharge piping, inlet/outlet piping to/from...
What is Slug Flow? Steps for Slug Flow Analysis and Prevention
Slug flow is a phenomenon that occurs in multiphase flow systems, particularly in pipes and pipelines carrying gas and liquid phases. It is characterized by the intermittent presence of large,...
