Sl. Checkpoints Status (Tick Remarks

No. if Confirmed)
1 Does the current model in Piping Designer of the
analyzed system match with Caesar model.
(Check the dimensions, Location of heavy masses
and supports)
2 Does the Co-ordinate match of PDS model and
Caesar model?
3 Is Kaux setting, Unit File, Configuration Setting,
Hanger Set Up, Special Execution Parameters
appropriate?
4 Is Pipe Diameter, Wall Thickness, Insulation, Mill
tolerance, Corrosion Allowance, Insulation
Density, Fluid density, Design Parameters, Pipe
Material, Allowable Stress (From code), Elastic
Modulus [Hot/cold] (From code), Thermal
Expansion (From Code), Bend Radius, Wind Sp.
5 Is Boundary Condition, Initial Displacement
sufficient?(Values Converted to Caesar Axis)
6 Is Wind Speed/pressure, Wind Direction, basis of
Wind direction appropriate?
7 Is seismic acceleration Input Basis, Is Occasional
Load Factor appropriate, Comparison with Civil
design basis proper?
8 Stress Intensification Factor of components.
9 Bending Allowance for Bends Specified.
10 For ID based is pipe allowance on minimum
thickness added?
11 Load Case Buildup for different operating modes.
12 Is deflection of Piping System under Sustained
Loading sufficient?(<5mm )
13 Is the Pipe Lifting up in Sustained loading? If Yes
adjust nearby Hanger loads.
14 Stress in Piping System for different Loading
Condition (With Cold/Hot Modulus of Elasticity)?
15 Expansion of Piping System in Different
Operating Condition.
16 Is sufficient Clearance available for pipe to
Expand?
17 Deflection of Piping System under Occasional
Loading. (<= 50 mm )
18 Are the restraint Loads specified with Hot
modulus of Elasticity?

19 Restraint Loads on the connection Equipments

(Should be within manufacturer's allowable
limits). In case the load exceeds has an
agreement been reached with Equipment
manufacturer.
20 Restraint point loads (<= 60 - 80KN depending on
Pipe Size).
21 Is Spring Hanger Type Selection correct?
22 Are all hanger selection justifiable for their
vertical displacement?
23 Can the number of Constant hangers be further
optimized?
24 Can the support arrangement be further
optimized?
25 Is the Turbine Nozzle Floated in?
26 Are the major Equipments (Bypass Valves,
Condenser etc.) floated?
27 Are Valves, Heavy masses properly Guided?
28 Piping System Checked for Soil Settlement?
29 Can Number of snubbers be further optimized?
30 For vertical Pipe Run are the hangers located
properly to ensure pipe stability?
31 Has the Hydro test Load been Analyzed. (All
Hangers Locked)?
32 Has the Acid Cleaning case been Analyzed.
(Selected Hangers Locked)?
33 Are any uni-direction restraints used in model,
Check for Earth Quake Loading?
34 Are hangers loads at a uniform level?
35 Is the live load (snow, Ice load),if required,
considered?
36 Is hanger overstressing the piping System?
