Stress Analysis of Smart Support for Process Pipeline Systems by CAESAR Software
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Process pipeline system designs are governed by Industrial or International Codes and Standards to transport the fluid, steam or air through the employed pipe system in plants of many industries. Such piping arrangements consist of components like pipes, different valves, flanges, different fittings, varying elbows, different gaskets, and further specialties. The code AS ME B31.3 for process design piping has been used throughout this study. This code is applied in refineries of petroleum, oil and gas industries, chemical plants, textile plants, semi-conductor plants, paper mills, and many other industrial plants. Here the objective is to clearly explain the flexibility characteristics, elemental forces and displacements and also the stress analysis that have been kept in agreeable limits as per typical standards for major load conditions like hydrostatic - HYD, sustained - SUS, operating - OPE and experimental - EXP cases. The study was conducted on nitrogen pipeline network of a process plant at Durgapur, West Bengal in India.
