Importance of Bourdon Effect, True and Effective Axial Force
Bourdon Effect on Pipelines Bourdon Effect is associated with the pressure elongation of the piping and pipeline systems. In piping and pipeline systems, elbows or bends are frequently used for...
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...
Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by relief valve discharge by an equivalent static method. The relief valve discharge thrust load acts on elbow 28. In Start-Prof it...
Modeling Fired Heater Piping Connection is a bit tricky as the pipe is not welded to a fired heater shell similar to ordinary equipment. The heater has a hole, the pipe runs through that hole inside...
Start-Prof can estimate the support loads and stresses caused by slug flow loads using the static method. Additional dynamic loads caused by the slugs hitting the bends and tees must be...
