I've been working in pipe stress analysis of pipelines, compressor stations, and pump stations for about 2 years now. A recurring issue that I've run into in this time is welding supports to pipe under the pipeline codes.
Every designer and engineer that's been in pipeline for a while...
Does anyone know of some good pipe stress training courses? I'm especially interested in the dynamic analysis (water hammer, earthquake, wind/wave, etc.).
I'm hoping to get approval from my company for the CAESAR II dynamics course, and I've purchased L.C. Peng's book on pipe stress (which may...
I'm hoping someone out there has some experience on this subject and can help guide me in the right direction.
I'm working on a stress analysis that involves a pipeline valve station during a surge event (after closing the valve at this station). I have pressure vs. time data at each elbow in...
Hi, I couldn't get an answer on the Intergraph forums so I'm hoping someone on here can help me with this.
Recently, I ran an analysis of a pump station piping system in CAESAR II. The code I used was ASME B31.4 and the material was A-106 Gr. B. The temperature was 100F and the pressure was...
I've been told that the minimum permissible temperature of API 5L material according to the pipeline codes (ASME B31.4 and B31.8) is 32F. In ASME B31.3, the minimum temperature of API 5L is -20F according to the stress tables in the back.
Does anyone know what the actual minimum permissible (or...
