Pipe stress analysis expertise
We are highly experienced in working on the entire lifecycle of many piping installations, and therefore have a great understanding of all aspects involved from initial concept to completion.
This makes us well-positioned to offer detailed pipe stress analysis services to our clients. We have the ability to identify potential piping challenges and determine the root cause of the problem, before proposing a fully engineered solution.
Our pipe stress analysis services include:
1-Static & dynamic thermal stress analysis for given load cases
2-Analysis of occasional conditions such as wind loads & pressure relief valve loads
3-Nozzle assessments including nozzle loads, stiffnesses and local stress analysis
4-Assessment of design modifications including expansions joints, spring supports, ...
5-Pipeline lifting assessments
6-Structural support Analysis and detailed design of piping supports
7-Seismic analysis

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Pipe hangers and supports, which support piping from above (hangers) or below (props), alleviate stress on pipes as they transport fluids from one location to another. An improper supporting system spaced too far apart adds stress to piping and may cause damage to the entire system, leading to fractures, sagging pipes, and leaks.
INSPECTION CHECKLIST EXPANSION JOINTS:
# check for signs of leakage or a loss of pressure
# inspect for any distortion or yielding of anchors, hardware, bellows, and piping connection points
# observe for any unanticipated movement of piping due to pressure
# inspect for evidence of instability (squirm), distortion or damage in the bellows convolutions
# check the expansion joint, the guides, and other moveable parts of the system for evidence of binding
# check for misalignment of the expansion joint unit
# check for vibration damage
# check for signs of leakage or a loss of pressure

Overview of Pipe Supports
Pipe supports are supporting parts of the pipes in facilities that include piping systems. They are the essential elements for the stabilization and the carrying of the pipes. Let’s examine pipe support briefly in the following.

What is a pipe support? What are they used for?
Pipe supports are the components that transfer the weight from a pipe or the structural attachment to the supporting structures. The weight includes the weight of the pipe, the content that the pipe carries, the pipe fittings fixed to the pipe, and the pipe wraps. The fundamental functions of pipe supports are to anchor, guide, absorb shock, and support a particular load.

How pipe supports are used?
A pipe is rested on a supporting part often of a standard structural shape. The pipe may be fastened to this part with a pipe support. A pipe is either held from above by hangers or supports of various types on which it rests. Hangers are also considered as supports.
There are various types of pipe supports which can be installed to support dead weight loads, and constrain the pipe for thermal and dynamic loads.
Pipe supports include brackets, rod hangers, sway braces, anchors, spring hangers, turnbuckles, struts, saddles, rollers, and sliding supports. Structural attachments are components that are bolted, welded, or clamped to the pipe, such as lugs ,clips, clamps, clevises, and stops.Pipe supports that are used in temperature sensitive applications may also consist of insulation materials.

Design and selection of the pipe supports
The design configuration of a pipe support assembly is reliant on the loading conditions and pipe support location and is only limited by the imagination of the engineer and designer, as thousands of different designs have been used for specific purposes. The correct and cost-effective selection of pipe supports for different piping systems usually presents obstacles of different degrees. Proper pipe support selection must be the objective of the designing and construction phases.
