Stress Analysis?

[sk10009]

I am working at an oil refining company and considering about stress analysis on piping.

Could some explain to me how will I do about gap(1ea,20mm)between pipe line supports and structure after operating.

?Operating Temperature : 600’c
Operating Pressure : 26kg/cm2
?Piping Material : TP321
?Piping Size : 20”


Is it possible to operate it to keep remaining gap?

Presumably you are concerned about excess span, or the gap itself ? Not enough information here.

You need to get a stress engineer on site.

sk...

1) Have you performed any high temperature piping stress analysis before this particular assignment ?

2) What is your "Code of Record" for this analysis ?

3) Which software package are you using ? Whic version and edition ? Is it a fully registered or purloined copy ?

4) 600C is very hot... will you be performing a detailed anaysis at thickness transitions ?

5) Do you have any integrally welded attachments to this piping ? If so do you have a methodolology established to deal with these ?
