Piping Stress Analysis
By Aa Kaysheehan
The following information will take you step-by-step
through the logic of the data collection effort that
should occur prior to beginning to model a piping
system for a stress analysis: 1. First of all, prior to starting to build a piping
model it is imperative to sort out what you wish
to achieve in any analysis. The following
questions may assist you in determining the
reasoning for conducting a piping stress analysis:
a) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
stresses in a specific piping system and
to determine if these stresses are
within the range allowed by the Piping
Code? b) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
loads on a piece of rotating equipment? c) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
loads on a heat exchanger, pressure
vessel or tank nozzle? d) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
loads on one or structural anchors? e) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
loads on one or more pipe supports? f) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
movements of portions of the piping
system due to thermal growth or
contraction? g) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
effects of wind loads on the piping
system and/or attached equipment? h) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
effects of earthquake loads on the
piping system and/or attached
equipment? i) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
effects of wave loading on the piping
system and/or attached equipment? j) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
effects of soil resistance to movement
for underground or buried piping
system and/or any attached
equipment? k) Are you interested in performing a
piping stress analysis to evaluate the
effects of changes in temperature,
pressure and weight on flanged
couplings and to determine if there is a
tendency for the connections to leak? Once these questions have been answered, then check
each of the following steps. 2. Determine which piping code will govern the
design of the piping system.
3. Collect all the plan and elevation drawings
necessary to fully document the piping routing.
4. Obtain or construct an isometric drawing of the
entire piping system. If you have several piping
isometrics documenting different parts of the
piping system, make sure that the North arrow
orientation is the same on all such isometrics. For more info and free e book for Piping Engineer just browse : http://kayebookfree.blogspot.com/
