Principles of Pipe Stress Analysis (CAESAR II)

Introduction:

Piping system design constitutes a major part of the design and engineering effort in any facility. Stress analysis is a critical component of piping design through which important parameters such as piping safety, safety of related components and connected equipment and piping deflection can be addressed. The objective of pipe stress analysis is to prevent premature failure of piping and piping components and ensuring that piping stresses are kept within allowable limits.

This course is designed for personnel from a wide range of abilities and backgrounds and will cover the fundamental principles and concepts used in pipe stress analysis. In addition to meeting the needs of design, the course is structured to provide you an in-depth understanding of the engineering principles involved in material selection, application of code criteria and the capabilities and tools incorporated in stress analysis software. The extensive use of case studies and practical exercises during the course of the discussion ensures as comprehensive coverage of the material as possible. The course will introduce CAESAR II software.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this seminar participants will:

· How stress analysis is carried out in piping systems

· The fundamental aspects related to selection of piping materials

· The objective and scope of piping codes
