Piping Design
Piping Design is a purely an engineering study as the main aim & objective for piping
is to transport the fluid from one place to another with minimum effort loss in terms of
mechanical & safely.
This topic will be discussed later on separately.
Stress analysis
Process piping and power piping are typically checked by Pipe Stress Engineers to
verify that the routing, nozzle loads, hangers, and supports are properly placed and
selected such that allowable pipe stress is not exceeded under different situation such
as sustain, operating, pressure testing etc., as per the ASME B31, EN 13480 or any
other applicable codes and standards.
It is necessary to evaluate the mechanical behaviour of the piping under regular loads
(internal pressure and thermal stresses) as well under occasional and intermittent
loading cases such as earthquake, high wind or special vibration, and water hammer.
This evaluation at earlier times was very tough & tiring whereas in modern days it is
usually performed with the assistance of a specialized (finite element) pipe stress
analysis computer
program
such
as CAESAR
II, Triflex,
ROHR2, CAEPIPE and AUTOPIPE.
In cryogenic pipe supports, most steel become more brittle as the temperature
decreases from normal operating conditions, so it is necessary to know the
temperature distribution for cryogenic conditions.
Steel structures will have areas of high stress that may be caused by sharp corners in
the design, or inclusions in the material.
