In most organizations, there is a 3-tier checking process for every stress system for maintaining the quality of analyzed stress systems. Normally stress system is performed by one (junior or...
Category: Piping Stress Basics
Tall pipe risers are used in skyscrapers, mines, etc. There are two points that the piping stress engineer should consider: Fluid weight load distribution Pipe longitudinal stability Fluid...
Spring hangers are an integrated part of the Piping Industry. The use of spring hangers for supporting pipe weights is well-known to every piping engineer. Whenever some rigid supports are not taking...
A Piping Snubber is a Dynamic Restraint that protects the piping system against impulse loading conditions from Seismic or Surge Events. It is basically a mechanical device that allows pipe operating...
Pipe Support Friction Coefficient and Frictional Loads on Pipe Supports
Pipe Support friction plays a significant role in pipe stress analysis. All piping stress engineers must be aware that while modeling supports or restraints we have to enter the frictional...
Static Method of Wind Analysis of Piping systems in Caesar II using Pressure Vs elevation Method
Wind analysis is performed based on the Client/ITB requirement. Wind load is an occasional load that normally occurs less than 20% of plant operating time. There are two methods for wind...
