STRESS, VIBRATION AND LOAD CALCULATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH HRN EN 13480 AND ASME B31
Safety and resilience of piping systems under real-world conditions
Using precise structural analysis, we simulate actual operating conditions and optimize every segment of the system – from supports and hangers to equipment connections – ensuring that the piping network can withstand all loads over the long term.
CHALLENGES
Thermal expansion and contraction
Cause mechanical stresses and displacements.
Dynamic loads (vibrations, seismic activity, wind)
Challenge the integrity of joints and overall structure.
Compliance with PED, HRN EN and ASME standards
Standards such as HRN EN 13480, ASME B31.1, B31.3, B31.4 and B31.8 require specialized calculations.
Need for optimization of hangers and support
Improper layout of supports and hangers can lead to stress concentrations and system failure.
ADVANTAGES OF OUR APPROACH
Increased system safety
All elements are checked for maximum forces and moments.
Optimization of the pipeline through distribution of forces and moments
Helps prevent localized damage and failures.
Extended service life of the piping system
By identifying high-stress zones, we adjust the layout and support design to reduce material fatigue and prevent cracks during operation.
Greater durability of pressure equipment
Reduced material fatigue and maintenance requirements.
START YOUR PROJECT
Piping systems in industrial environments must endure thermal expansion, dynamic loads, and long-term operation without material fatigue. Using AutoPIPE software, we perform detailed structural analyses, simulate real operating conditions, and deliver optimized solutions that extend the service life of piping systems.
