What is the purpose of Stress Analysis?
Stress analysis ensures the safety of piping and piping components, safety of connected equipment and supporting structure, and that piping deflections are within limits.
Read MoreWhat is Stress Analysis?
September 11, 2015
A term applied to calculations, which address the static and dynamic loading, resulting from the effects of gravity, temperature changes, internal pressures, fluid flow, seismic activity, and any external loads.
Read MoreWhat is the Stress-Strain curve?
It is a visual representation of the effects of various loading conditions on a piping system between stress and strain.
Read MoreWhat are the 5 majority causes of failures (after flexibility analysis) of a system?
Vibration, thermal bowing, creep, thermal fatigue, and steam/water.
Read MoreWhat are the effects of excessive flexibility?
September 9, 2015
Excessive flexibility causes an increase in material costs, pressure drops, and loss of pump efficiency.
Read MoreWhat are the methods of incorporating flexibility in a piping arrangement?
Using flexible piping with bends and turns, use of expansion loops between fixed locations, or use of expansion joints between two anchor points of a pipe run.
Read MoreWhat is the purpose of flexibility analysis?
September 4, 2015
Flexibility analysis assures that there is not any overstress or fatigue, leakage at joints or distortions are piping connections or terminals.
Read MoreWhat is the objective of having flexibility within a piping system?
To produce neither excessive stress within the configuration and limit excessive end reaction at the piping terminal.
Read MoreWhat are some applications for a piping system?
September 3, 2015
Conventional and nuclear power plant, petroleum refinery, chemical industry, natural gas transmission, food processing and pharma industry, water and sewage plants, air conditioning and refrigeration system.
Read MoreWhat are some adverse operating conditions of a piping system?
Fluctuating temperatures, changes in pressure, and modification in flow rate.
Read MoreWhat is a two phase flow?
July 29, 2015
A
Why is fluid velocity controlled?
Fluid velocity is controlled to prevent operational problems such as water hammer, steam hammer, relief valve discharge loading, and vibrational loads.
Read MoreWhy do piping systems use pumps?
Piping systems use pumps to develop the pressure or head required to maintain the system design flow rates.
Read MoreWhy must piping system pressure drops be maintained?
Piping system pressure drops must be maintained within reasonable values to limit the installed size of the system pumps and their prime movers.
Read MoreWhat is dynamic head?
July 27, 2015
Dynamic head is the equivalent height of a fluid that is to be pumped, taking into account the friction losses in the pipe.
Read MoreWhat is system static head?
July 21, 2015
System static head is the internal energy of
