    Assessment life by cycle on FRP Pipeline - ASME B31.3

    Using B31.3 code to analyze the flexibility of the FRP piping may not be the right one. The FRP piping design should be strictly followed the manufacturing guideline, simply because each FRP supplier has its own method of deriving the pipe properties. If this info is not available at time of...

    Caesar II with Tie-rod Ex-joint

    Hello all, I'm using using Caesar II to model the piping system with the use of tied-rod expansion joint to reduce forces and moments excert on equipment nozzle. The joint was modeled per Caesar II application page 5-6 with restraints RX, RZ, and rigid Y. The system designed to allow the...

    Flange connection vs. butt weld on critical steam line.

    A steam line design condition at T=1050 F, P=1340 psig. Is it practical to have stop valve a flange connection instead of butt weld? What is a major concern if the flange connection being used from the stress point of view? Your input is appreciated. Regards

    Allowable stress for A-523 Material

    xhpipe, It Sounds odd, but that is what the client wants to use. You have mentioned B31.3 methedology of developing the allowable stress value for non-list material. Is it the same that ASME II-D Appendix 1 has offered? I guess I have to come up with something practically exceptable from the...

    Allowable stress for A-523 Material

    xhpipe, Thanks for the question. I don't know what code it should be used. This is a plain end seamless pipe for high-pressure pipe-type cable conduit. The material specification was initiated by the IEEE Insulated Conductor Commitee in recognition of the need for a specification embodying the...
