An Overview of Linear and Non-Linear Analysis in Piping Stress Calculations
In reality, the behavior of any system is not completely linear. Linear analysis can only approximate the behavior of the system to an extent. Generally, Non-linear behavior may be due...
Snow and Ice loading is an environmental load and must be considered in pipe stress analysis where the climatic condition specifies the possibility of snow or ice formation. Piping projects in...
Allowable Stress for Pressure Relieving Reaction Load vs Occasional load
Piping systems be protected against over-pressuring by Pressure-relieving devices like pressure safety valves, and pressure relief valves, … by realizing extra pressure (popping up) according to...
What is a Pipe Saddle? Its Application, Design, and Configuration
Proper pipe supporting is synonymous with proper working and longevity of the piping and pipeline system. A pipe saddle helps in this activity by supporting the pipe weight. Installing pipe saddles...
A u-bolt is a u-shaped curved bolt having threads on each end used as support in the piping and pipeline industry. U-Bolts are one of the simplest and most widely used types of piping support. They...
