BS 970 – Steel for forging, bars, rods, valves steel, etc.

BS 1212 – Specification for float operated Valves

BS 1306 – Specification for copper and copper alloy pressure piping systems

BS 1414 – Specification for steel wedge gate valves (flanged and butt-welding ends) for the petroleum, petrochemical and allied industries

BS 1560 – Steel Pipe Flanges

BS 1600 – Specification for dimensions of steel pipe for the petroleum industry

BS 1640 – Specification for steel butt-welding pipe fittings for the petroleum industry.

BS 1873 – Steel Globe and Check Valves for Petroleum Industry

BS 1965 – Butt Welding pipe fittings

Pipe Stress Analysis

-
Image
 Pipe Stress Analysis: The purpose of pipe stress analysis is to ensure the safe operation of piping systems by verifying their structural and pressure retaining integrity under the loading conditions expected to occur during the life time of the piping in the plant. This is accomplished by calculation of stress in the pipe wall, piping expansion movements, equipments, nozzle loads and system natural frequencies and comparing these values to the permissible values.   The stress analyst is also responsible for determining the design support loads to ensure that the supports are adequately designed to take the piping loads. Considerations: The requirements of piping stress analysis are laid out in the piping code ASME B31. For the purpose of stress analysis, piping systems are typically divided in to two main categories and then further divided into sub categories.  Basically they are classified as HOT and COLD systems . Hot lines are those with a design temperature of...
