WHAT MAKES PIPING CRITICAL?
Temperature
Pressure
Occasional loads (Seismic & Wind)
Dynamics of the flowing fluid
FDC PIPING
WHAT CAUSES STRESS IN THE
PIPE?
Live and Dead load (Piping component, Insulation,
Flowing medium etc.).
Line pressure
Restraining of pipe expansion or Temperature gradient
Discharge reaction (E.g. Relief valves)
Seismic / Wind load
Dynamics of flowing fluid.

WHY STRESS ANALYSIS IS TO BE
DONE?
To ensure that all stresses in the piping system are within
allowable limits.
To limit the loads on the equipment nozzle.
To limit the thermal displacement and sagging
To limit the loads on the supporting structures &flanged
joints.
To avoid excessive piping vibration

? Pump line ISO, Pump vendor drg, allowable nozzle Load, P& ID, and LDT. In the
absence of allowable load in vendor drg, twice of API-610 values are used. CAESAR axis
system should match with vendor drg or API-610 for comparing nozzle allowable loads and
moments.
PUMP MODELING IN CAESAR-II
Most commonly used centrifugal pumps are:
1. End suction Top discharge
2. Top suction Top discharge
3. Side suction Side discharge
For above mentioned pumps detail modeling procedure in CAESAR-II is discussed as
below
1. End suction Top discharge
Referring to Fig.1, node marking 1-2 shows nozzle flange with given flange rating
as rigid element. Node 2-3 shows nozzle standby with pipe element (dia equal to pump
impeller dia and thickness equal to pipe wall thickness) as rigid element with zero weight
from flange welding joint to pump impeller center line.
Restraints
1) The pipe flange to be get anchored as C- Node with pump flange to get
nozzle load due to piping reaction. This load value should be less than allowable values.
2) Rigid element at Impeller C/L to be get anchored i.e. anchor at node3.
