Design of piping system constitutes a major part of the design and engineering

effort in the world of fluid conveyance. 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
checked.
The objective of pipe stress analysis is to prevent premature failure of piping
and piping components and ensuring that piping stresses through the various types
of piping materials and supports with respect to codes and standards.
This paper discussed analysis the piping stress through the variation of the
pipe material with respect to pressure and temperature of the operating medium
was used to vary placement of supports and the number of supports was optimized.
 Pipe Design mainly depends upon stress analysis. Process piping
and power piping are typically checked by pipe stress engineers
to verify that the routing, nozzle loads, hangers, and supports
are properly placed and selected such that allowable pipe stress
is not exceeded under different loads such as sustained loads,
operating loads, pressure testing loads, etc., as stipulated by the
ASME B31, EN 13480 or any other applicable codes and
standards. It is necessary to evaluate the mechanical behavior of
the piping under regular loads (internal pressure and thermal
stresses) as well under occasional and intermittent loading cases
such as earthquake, high wind or special vibration, and water
hammer.
 CAESAR II is a complete pipe stress analysis software program
that allows quick and accurate analysis of piping systems
subjected to weight, pressure, thermal, seismic and other static
and dynamic loads. It can analyze piping systems of any size or
complexity.
 CAESAR II is unique, incorporating
calculation methods and analysis options not
found in any other program. It provides for
the static and dynamic analysis of piping
systems.

flexibility and the stress in the pipe layout
