Abstract

Example of stress evaluation for a pipe subjected to impeded thermal expansion according to ASME code

Highlights

  • The strength calculation regarding the pipe systems has, as a rule, a verification character, it usually succeeding the dimensioning of the pipe elements and the establishment of the pipe route configuration

  • The strength calculation for a piping system usually takes into account its piping

  • The article summarizes the results of the analysis of the mechanical stress states identified at the level of a piping system subjected to impeded thermal expansion

Summary

Introduction

The pipeline systems are sets of elements and devices separating a closed tubular space from the environment, mounted on a precisely determined route, which serve to collect, transport and distribute (technological) working environments in different states of aggregation (fluid liquid , gaseous, liquefied, fluidized, powdery, etc.). The main components of a piping system are the pipes the pipes or tubes that tightly separate/delimit the closed space through which the working environment is conveyed. The strength calculation regarding the pipe systems has, as a rule, a verification character, it usually succeeding the dimensioning of the pipe elements and the establishment of the pipe route configuration. The strength calculation for a piping system usually takes into account its piping (including bends/curves associated with changes of direction, reductions related to section changes or possible tubular branches).
