Introduction

Ref No:    ME049
Title:       Pipe Stress Analysis (CAESAR II Application)
Start Date: 15 April 2024  End Date: 19 April 2024
Venue:   Dubai, UAE
Fee:        $5,500

Training will be held at any of the 5 star hotels. The exact venue will be informed once finalized.

Piping Stress Analysis involves examining the flexibility and stiffness of a particular piping configuration under different types of loading, primary and secondary types. Piping Stress Analysis determines the maximum stresses in the piping system and suggests necessary modifications. Less flexible systems are susceptible to failure more. Stress analysis helps revising the piping layout and its supports to avoid high local stresses. The course will discuss different types of stresses affecting piping flexibility, code criterions and methods of analysis, simple methods and computerized methods. Participant will practice performing such analysis using one of the software’s for the same.

Objective

Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to apply the piping system stress analysis requirements of ASME B31.3 to process plant piping systems and understand how to use piping analysis software to meet these requirements.

Audience

Engineers who are responsible for performing piping system stress analysis and others who must have a good understanding of its requirements are invited to attend this course.

Methodology

A highly interactive combination of lectures and discussion sessions will be managed to maximize the amount and quality of information and knowledge transfer. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions, and motivate everybody find the right answers. The delegates will also be encouraged to raise their own questions and to share in the development of the right answers using their own analysis and experiences.
