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.
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.
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.
