Stress Intensity Factor (SIF), Flexibility Factor: ASME B31.3 vs ASME B31J
A piping system consists of many different components such as bends, elbows, reducers, tees, valves, and flanges. However, in the pipe stress analysis, these various components are idealized into two...
When it comes to piping design and construction in industrial settings, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) plays a crucial role in establishing safety and performance standards. Two...
Pipe Thickness Calculation of Straight Pipe under External Pressure/ Vacuum Pressure Condition
Piping systems under vacuum conditions, Jacketed Piping, Offshore pipelines, piping inside equipment, etc. are subjected to both internal as well as external pressure. Contrary to the internal...
Variable Spring Support Design without the aid of Caesar II Hanger Auxiliary
Variable Spring Hanger Supports are widely used in critical pipe systems for their load-bearing capability allowing thermal movements. In Caesar II, We can easily design a variable spring hanger...
Turbine Piping: Definition, Working Philosophy, Layout Consideration, Stress Analysis, NEMA SM 23
Turbine piping stress analysis is one of the most critical analyses in piping design. It is due to the following reasons Turbines are strain sensitive and have less allowable nozzle...
