I am attempting to perform a calculation for reduction of MDMT in non-impact-tested material in a piping system, and need to understand the stress ratio referred-to in Figure 523.2.2 of B31.5 (or the analogous section of B31.3). My main point of confusion is with the meaning of the provisions...
Has anyone received an email from SST Systems saying that they are now performing engineering services in the US? Has anyone heard of software manufacturers also being competitors with their customers in this way? Would appreciate any thoughts or comments on the subject.
Hello all. I am looking to make sense of implementing EN 12953-9 and EN 12952-11 (they have essentially the same requirements with regard to my application). I am in the US but trying to produce a design that's applicable to both Europe and the USA for my safety systems for a hot water boiler...
Hello all, back again with a piping thermal movement question. If I think about how a pipe might move in the thermal case of a long straight pipe between (2) anchors, with a loop to take up movement, when pipe is expanding and is resting on supports that are not frictionless, the friction...
After long study of the MW Kellogg methods, and setup of the various form (which lend themselves to spreadsheets quite nicely), I have a much better understanding of how to get at least some result for simple systems with the constraints shown in the book (two places only, although I'm working...
After reading some opinions in some of the threads in this forum, I would like to get some specifics, if possilbe, on the applicability of the M.W. Kellogg methods. Just in case anyone didn't know, brand new paperback copies of the second addition are available for around $35 on Amazon.
As...
I would like to thank everyone who responded to my previous thread on B31.3 Pipe Stress Analysis. It was quite informative.
I have received and been reading both the MW Kellogg and Peng and Peng books that this community suggested. They both contain a hug amount of information that will take...
I am a Mechanical Engineering PE in the state of Florida with mostly Industrial Ammonia Refrigeration experience. I have recently had the opportunity to branch out into some other aspects of the pressure piping design world, specifically process piping, and started looking around at various...
