Contents of a Pipe Stress Analysis Report

After stress analysis of a piping system is complete, a report package is created. It helps in documenting stress analysis done on that particular piping system. It should be submitted to client for preservation throughout lifetime of the plant.

It Includes following components.

1.    Basic input data and calculated conditions

2.    Layout isometric and supports configuration including gaps/limit stops

3.    Calculated member forces and stresses for different load cases

4.    Forces, moments and displacement reports

5.    Spring Hangers design parameters

6.    Additional requirements (reinforcement pad etc.)

7.    Flange leakage checks if applicable.

8.    WRC 107/WRC 297 checks.

9.    Allowable Stress Range.

10. Expansion Bellow parameters

11. Design calculations for adequacy of supporting elements

12. Loads at interface B/L with ISBL/OSBL if any.

13. Analysis of segments till nearest anchor at battery limit

14. Basis of allowable forces and moments & wherever applicable vendor given allowable

15. loads/moments.

16. Allowable equipment load check

17. Codal Check.
