3.0 Modeling And Analysis Of The Piping System

The first two sections of these pipe stress analysis notes have served to give the user an overview of the requirements of pipe stress analysis. This section presents the task on a detailed level, presenting ideas for modeling of various piping configurations and explaining specific analyses which may be performed to evaluate individual piping components.

Included in this section is information on the following subjects:

  1. Computer representation of basic elements

  2. Piping configuration modeling techniques

  3. Expansion joint modeling and evaluation

  4. Nozzle evaluation, including evaluation of equipment loads, determination of nozzle/vessel stresses, and estimation of nozzle/vessel connection flexibilities

  5. Piping restraints/structural modeling

  6. Miscellaneous topics (cold spring, underground pipe, plastic pipe, jacketed pipe, flange leakage analysis, etc.)
