TYPES OF ANALYSIS

Pipe Stress

  • We offer our engineering services to:

    -Verify that piping stresses are below code allowables (ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, etc.)

    -Verify that piping loads on rotating equipment are below industry standards (API-610, NEMA SM 23, etc.)

    -Verify that piping loads on vessels, tanks, heaters, etc., are below code allowables (ASME Section II Part D, API 620, etc.)

    -Design spring supports

    -Design rigid pipe supports and restraints

    -Calculate forces and moments for failure analysis

    -Calculate thermal movements

Fluid Flow

  • We offer our engineering services to:

    -Size piping and select piping components

    -Size relief valves and vents

    -Identify and prevent pump cavitation

    -Predict and eliminate water hammer or other undesirable fluid transients

Pipe Vibration

  • We offer our engineering services to:

    -Design and recommend support & restraint modifications to reduce piping vibrations

    -Review pipe routing and spans between supports to avoid resonance with compressor or pump frequencies

    -Verify that acoustic frequencies generated by compressors or pumps do not resonate with piping natural frequencies

    -Calculate shaking forces on piping systems

    -Calculate pressure spikes caused by compressors, pumps, dynamic events, etc.

    -Verify the piping system meets API 618 criteria

Failure
