Several ASME B31 and EN 13480 Issues Needed to Know by Any Pipe Stress Engineer

ASME B31 and EN 13480 codes have several issued that can lead to under-estimation of sustained and expansion stresses, tee stresses, and bend flexibility factors when using pipe stress analysis software. Pipe stress engineers should know about these issues to avoid wrong and unsafe design. The review of these issues will be presented and how to manage them in piping stress analysis.

Thank you!

I think this is a bit over analysis. Practically you are saying a 200NB Sch. 20 Pipe connected over 3 meters span by fixed support operating at 0 pressure, 150 degrees will fail due to axial stresses? Then I have news for you, I design Ammonia suction and discharge pipe over these mentioned ranges some of them operating for over 20 years never had any problem or failure.

Make a video about this please. Im sure several people here would watch and enjoy it.
