Pipe Stress Analysis by using FEA

By FEA Analysis ServicesDate: May, 20 2013

FEA Analysis Services is a prominent firm offering FEA Pipe Stress Analysis services to top companies around the world.

Pipes are almost an integral part of any process industry since these are used extensively for transportation of various materials from one unit of the plant to other. Naturally pipes are subjected to various forms of stresses developing during their use and a critical study of the different stresses generated is of paramount importance for a safe and sound piping design.

FEA Pipe Stress Analysis comprises of the entire gamut of piping design with respect to the different loads operating within the system, the various types of stresses generated thereby, the flow characteristics of the fluid within the interior of the pipes, fatigue failure, effect of temperature variation and such other factors which cause rupture of pipes in use.

FEA Pipe Stress Analysis for safe piping design involves certain steps:

Analysis of the total quantum of load expected to be generated in the pipeline

Finding a link between this load and the associated stresses generated in the piping materials

Identification the maximum dimensional stress that the material of the pipe can bear without failure

Projecting the effect of total loads on a 3-D stress analysis in the piping system

Altering the piping design so that the generated stress is well within the limits of failure

If the load on the pipe system exceeds the designated limit the system will lead to catastrophic failure of the system. Thus, it becomes imperative to study critically the various load factors operating in the piping system. The total loads in a piping system are classified into two broad classifications: Primary loads and Secondary loads.

FEA Pipe stress analysis encompasses both static analysis and dynamic analysis of the piping design. In the former, studies are conducted regarding the environmental factors like thermal variations, weight, pressure etc. In the dynamic or transient analysis such studies as effects of mechanical vibration, water hammer, slugging etc. are conducted.

With the help of various software’s available in the market now-a-days stress analysis of pipe design can be done quite easily and accurately.
