Dish and Nozzle Center line Distance Calculation from Nozzle Orientation of Pressure Vessel
Many a time during our day-to-day engineering services we need to calculate several important dimensions from the Nozzle Orientation drawing (Part of the Equipment GA drawing) of the pressure vessel....
Case Study of Tank Farm Design and Dike Wall Height Calculation
The following article will provide a sample case study for Tank Farm Design based on OISD 118. It will also provide a sample tank dike wall calculation for the same tank farm. Let's assume that the...
Difference between Primary loads and Secondary loads in a Piping System
Piping Stress Analysis is the scientific or engineering study of all the stresses generated in a piping system. Now from where this stress comes? From the mathematical definition of stress, we all...
The knowledge of both stress and strain is very important in design as their relationship to each other defines the mechanical properties of a material. But which comes first between Stress and...
Spring Hanger Pipe Support Selection Procedure for Piping Stress Analysis
Expert opinion says that among all piping design issues, 20% of issues are directly related to the support design and the other 20% are indirectly related. So overall 40% of the problems in the...
