The Sugar Engineers: Pipe Stress Analysis

The document discusses pipe stress analysis for sugar factory piping design. Pipe stress analysis is recommended to ensure piping is well supported under its own weight and thermal loads, complies with legislation, and stresses remain below allowables when cold and hot. The piping system is modeled using software like CAESA, which takes piping drawings and specifications to perform comprehensive stress calculations. Modifications like restraints, anchors, expansion loops, and cold springs may be used to ensure requirements are met.
