Design of piping systems
a- Strength & failure of materials
b- Design assumptions, stress evaluation & design limits
c- Local components
d- Simplified method for flexibility analysis
e- Flexibility analysis by the general analytical method
f- Flexibility analysis by model test
g- Approaches for reducing expansion effects
h- Supporting, restraining & bracing the piping system
i- Vibration (prevention & control)
Design criteria
1- Pressure – temperature rating (from tables APP. A or calculations)
2- Allowable stress
3- Stress limits & various allowances
