Piping systems are an integral part of industrial processes. The efficient and safe operation of piping systems depends on a number of factors, one of which is the design and installation of piping...
Piping Stress Basics
In flange leakage analysis using ASME Section VIII method, you have come across two important factors for gaskets as input. They are gasket m factors and gasket y factors. In this article, we will...
This course is created by an experienced pipe stress analysis software developer (15+ years experience), Ph.D. and covers all features of onshore above ground and underground piping and pipeline...
The local primary membrane stress (PL) is the stress generated due to a primary type load such as weight or pressure, but that is localized around a discontinuity such as a nozzle in a...
An Overview of Linear and Non-Linear Analysis in Piping Stress Calculations
In reality, the behavior of any system is not completely linear. Linear analysis can only approximate the behavior of the system to an extent. Generally, Non-linear behavior may be due...
Allowable Stress for Pressure Relieving Reaction Load vs Occasional load
Piping systems be protected against over-pressuring by Pressure-relieving devices like pressure safety valves, and pressure relief valves, … by realizing extra pressure (popping up) according to...
