A flexible hose is a type of piping used to connect two distant points to transport or transfer fluid. In Oil & Gas applications, hoses are used when there is a considerable relative movement. A...
Category: Piping Stress Basics
What is a Slip Joint? Slip Joints are mechanical joints that allow the contact surfaces of the pipes joined together to slip away from each other. When there is a large thermal movement of pipe...
Hooke’s Law: Statement, Equation, Graph, Applications, Limitations
What is Hooke's Law? Hooke's law is a principle of engineering mechanics and physics related to the properties of a material. There are basically two statements for Hooke's law; discovered by the...
Objective To explain why pipe stress-range calculations might not be correct if pipe support friction is not properly considered. The magnitude of the potential error in stress-range calculation...
Young’s Modulus | Modulus of Elasticity | Elastic Modulus | Young’s Modulus of Steels
Young’s modulus, also known as the modulus of elasticity or elasticity modulus is named after the British physicist Thomas Young. This is a very useful parameter in material science. Young’s...
The stress analysis methodology of air cooler piping is quite different from other types of heat exchangers. This is mainly due to its different construction and supporting arrangements. The...
