Tutorial: Stress Analysis of Plastic Piping System using PASS/START-PROF Software
From last few months few of the readers are asking to provide some guidelines for stress analysis of Plastic Piping System. This video tutorial by Mr. Alex Matveev (Developer of PASS/START-PROF...
START-PROF can easily import CAESAR II neutral format files (.cii) To import the model first export it into neutral format in CAESAR II: After that open .cii file with...
A water hammer is a hydraulic shock that occurs in a piping system when a fluid (usually water) is suddenly stopped or forced to change direction. This sudden change in the fluid's momentum can...
CAESAR II vs START-PROF Piping Stress Analysis Software Comparison
In this article, we will compare START-PROF and Caesar II functions. In START-PROF all pipes, fittings, and nodes are objects. Each object has its properties. For example, you can place bend objects...
How to use ASME B31J and FEM for SIF and k-factors for Stress Analysis
How to use ASME B31J SIF and k-factors in PASS/START-PROF For a long time, there was a need for a standard method to develop stress intensification factors (SIFs or i-factors) for ASME piping...
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...
