This procedure only applies for aboveground piping and sustained conditions. It should not be applied to piping under operating conditions, where the effect of the pressure and temperature cannot be easily calculated or considered by a simple method. In this case, a detailed computational pipe flexibility and stress analysis shall be performed. How is the …
Bending moments is a crucial aspect to be considered in pipe systems to ensure its reliability and safety. Non-permissible bending moments could cause damage on equipment nozzles, excessive vertical pipe deflections and overstresses. Where does the bending moment come from? Bending moments come from sustained, operating and occasional load cases. Sustained loads (W+P) are those …

Spring hangers are a vital part of a piping system when rigid supports could not be used due to problems with piping “Liftoff” and also to excesive overloads on equipment nozzles. In the following picture, it can be seen that a rigid support lifts off 25.72mm at an operating temperature of 302°C. Therefore, the support …

A scaffold is a temporary structure that facilitates the work at heights in the fields of building construction, industry, stage spectacles, exhibition stands, among others. There are 3 types of scaffolding systems that are used in any sort of industrial and building construction process. Types of scaffolding? Supported scaffolding Suspended scaffolding Mobile Scaffolds Supported …
