An Overview of Linear and Non-Linear Analysis in Piping Stress Calculations
In reality, the behavior of any system is not completely linear. Linear analysis can only approximate the behavior of the system to an extent. Generally, Non-linear behavior may be due...
Small-bore piping is defined as pipes that are 2 inches or less in size. In the piping industry, pipes are categorized into two groups; small-bore pipes and large-bore pipes. Any pipe having a size...
Allowable Stress for Pressure Relieving Reaction Load vs Occasional load
Piping systems be protected against over-pressuring by Pressure-relieving devices like pressure safety valves, and pressure relief valves, … by realizing extra pressure (popping up) according to...
What is Cryogenic Piping? | Materials and Pipe Supports for Cryogenic Services
Cryogenic piping refers to the piping network that operates below -290C. This temperature represents the demarcation of embrittlement for carbon steel materials. However, various literature considers...
What is a Pipe Saddle? Its Application, Design, and Configuration
Proper pipe supporting is synonymous with proper working and longevity of the piping and pipeline system. A pipe saddle helps in this activity by supporting the pipe weight. Installing pipe saddles...
