What are the applications ?
Main piping and pipe supports
Cylindrical pressure vessels
The supports and pipe routing are optimised until they converge on a solution that satisfies the selected calculation criteria.
Stress intensification factors are calculated and stresses verified according to ANSI codes
B31.3 (USA), EN-13480 (Europe) or CODETI (France) codes. Other codes (RCC-M, Stoomwezen) are available on request.
For this type of calculation, we use Bentley AutoPIPE® Advanced or Intergraph CAESAR II® software (equivalent to Pipestress, Rohr2 , Caepipe ).
In addition to the usual calculations, we can also provide :
- Verification of bolted flange connections using the equivalent pressure method
- Wind and snow studies
- Dynamic vibration behaviour studies
- seismic studies
Study models are usually made up of main piping, pipe supports and cylindrical pressure vessels.
In addition to the usual models, we can also include :
- Complex metal structures (chassis, pipe rack, etc.).
- Buried piping.
