Hello, I am working on a stress analysis for steam piping connect to steam turbine. The vendor provide nozzle allowable loads for sustain and operating cases. But the area is high seizmic area. The occasional loading is high. I am wondering how we consider the occ loading to qualify the nozzle...
A steam line reqiring 1% slop in the pipe rack. Clamp shoe is the support type. I am wondering what it is the typical way to make the slop: inserts plates under the shoe or adjust the rack steel height? or some other method? Thanks.
I am doing pipe design for natural gas vent from separator, performance heat exchanger, scrubber for a combined cycle power plant. Those natural gas process equipment have multiple vents and relife vents and most of those are 1" line with 600psi design pressure. The equipment vendor provide the...
I appreciate all the input and replies.
I agree with Mr. Klein's concern on clamp shoe. It isn't pre-insulated shoe. The reason I used clamp shoe becasue P91 field welding is challenge and expensive. Clamp shoe has less residual stress compared with welding shoe. But clamp shoe may slide or...
I am doing pipe stress analysis and pipe support design for a 12" steam line(P=1800PSI and T=1050 F)in the pipe rack. The pipe materials is A335 P91. I added two line stop supports on a 120ft long strait pipe to push pipe expanded to a setting loop. The situation is we have 7000lbs lateral force...
