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,...
Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by relief valve discharge by an equivalent static method. The relief valve discharge thrust load acts on elbow 28. In Start-Prof it...
Seismic Analysis of piping systems is performed to safeguard the piping systems from unforeseen earthquake events. During the initial design phase, based on earlier earthquake data available in codes...
