AutoPIPE vs CAESAR II: Differences between CAESAR II & AUTOPIPE (PDF)
What is Autopipe? Autopipe is a computer-based engineering program to determine pipe stresses, pipe support design, flange analysis, and equipment nozzle load analysis under dynamic and static...
What is Time History Analysis? Steps with example (With PDF)
Time history analysis is quite popular in pipe stress analysis as it provides the most realistic specification of dynamic loads in CAESAR II. The program’s modal time history analysis can simulate...
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...
Air Cooler Piping Stress Analysis using Caesar II [With PDF]
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...
Overview of Lateral Buckling and Upheaval Buckling of Pipelines (With PDF)
Long pipelines are often subjected to lateral and upheaval buckling. Both upheaval and lateral buckling can induce excessive bending stresses in the pipeline that may lead to pipeline failure. In...
