Overview

In Design for Branched Piping Systems, you'll learn ...

  • How to design for pressure containment and avoid burst failure in branched piping
  • How to combine pressure loading with axial and bending moment loads commonly found in branched piping
  • How to account for all piping elements (sealing, fittings) as well as piping configurations (short vs long span, linear vs branched)

4 Easy Steps to Complete a PDHengineer webinar

The objective of this course is to learn how to design for pressure containment in branched piping. The equations for the stresses generated in cylindrical vessels will be reviewed for both thin wall and thick walled (Lame’s equations). A new form of the pressurized cylinder equations derived by CP Sparks will be detailed which vastly simplifies the calculations and gives insight into the real stress distribution.

Pressure containments design will be introduced from a holistic standpoint. Anything that can lead to loss of pressure containment will be discussed. This include tolerances, operational wear, temperature, external loading, and combination loading. Pressure containment must also include all components in the system such as seals, gasket, flanges, and connections.

Next the design of piping will be considered. Three types of piping systems and their design methodology will be shown. First, the short span pipe will be reviewed for its needs with respect to flexibility design. Second, the long span pipe and its need to self-support will be introduced. Finally, the branch piping system will be reviewed to understand how to design for complex stresses and need for supports.
