What Will I Learn?

• Pipe stress analysis theory. Load types. Stress types. Bourdon effect. Creep effect in high temperature piping, creep rupture usage factor (Appendix V B31.3)
• ASME B31.1, ASME B31.3, ASME B31.4, ASME B31.5, ASME B31.8, ASME B31.9, ASME B31.12 code requirements for pipe stress analysis
• How to use PASS/START-PROF software for pipe stress analysis
• How to work with different load cases
• How to model different types of piping supports, spring selection
• What is stress intensification and flexibility factors and how to calculate them using FEA and code requirements
• How to model trunnion and lateral tees
• How to model pressure vessels and columns connection: modeling local and global flexibility, WRC 297, WRC 537, FEA
• How to model storage tank connection (API 650)
• How to model connection to air cooled heat exchanger API 661, fired heater API 560, API 530
• How to model connection to Pump, Compressor, Turbine (API 610, API 617, NEMA SM23)
• How to model buried pipelines: Submerged Pipelines, Long Radius Bends Modeling of Laying, Lifting, Subsidence, Frost Heaving, Fault Crossing, Landslide
• Underground pipelines Seismic Wave Propagation, Pipe Buckling, Upheaval Buckling, Modeling of Pipe in Chamber, in Casing with Spacers. Electrical Insulation kit
• Minimum design metal temperature calculation MDMT calculation, impact test
• Modeling of Expansion Joints, Flexible Hoses, Couplings
• Import and export to various software: CAESAR II, AVEVA, REVIT, PCF format, etc.
• How to do Normal Modes Analysis and how to interpret results
• ASME B31G Remaining Strength of Corroded Pipeline Calculation
• The course is based on PASS/START-PROF software, though it will be valuable for users of any other tools like CAESAR II as it contains a lot of theoretical info
