Pipe Stress Engineering

An up-to-date and practical reference book on piping engineering and stress analysis, this book emphasizes three main concepts: using engineering common sense to foresee a potential piping stress problem, performing the stress analysis to confirm the problem, and lastly, optimizing the design to solve the problem. Systematically, the book proceeds from basic piping flexibility analyses, spring hanger selections, and expansion joint applications, to vibration stress evaluations and general dynamic analyses. Emphasis is placed on the interface with connecting equipment such as vessels, tanks, heaters, turbines, pumps and compressors. Chapters dealing with discontinuity stresses, special thermal problems and cross-country pipelines are also included. The book is ideal for piping engineers, piping designers, plant engineers, and mechanical engineers working in the power, petroleum refining, chemical, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries. It will also serve as a reference for engineers working in building and transportation services. It can be used as an advance text for graduate students in these fields. 802854_fm.pdf......Page 1 802854_ch1.pdf......Page 23 802854_ch2.pdf......Page 55 802854_ch3.pdf......Page 83 802854_ch4.pdf......Page 113 802854_ch5.pdf......Page 155 802854_ch6.pdf......Page 173 802854_ch7.pdf......Page 231 802854_ch8.pdf......Page 269 802854_ch9.pdf......Page 307 802854_ch10.pdf......Page 351 802854_ch11.pdf......Page 379 802854_ch12.pdf......Page 395 802854_ch13.pdf......Page 431 ASM_Pipe Stress_Appendix A.pdf......Page 481 ASM_Pipe Stress_Appendix B.pdf......Page 483 ASM_Pipe Stress_Appendix C.pdf......Page 484 ASM_Pipe Stress_Appendix D.pdf......Page 486 ASM_Pipe Stress_Appendix E.pdf......Page 488 Introduction Strength of materials basics Thermal expansion and piping flexibility Code stress requirements Discontinuity stresses Pipe supports and restraints Flexible connections Interface with stationary equipment Interface with rotating equipment Transportation pipeline and buried piping Special thermal problems Dynamic analysis.
