Requirements
Pipe rack is integral part of any process plant, there are many ways to perform the design, but the basic concepts behind the same is always same. This course covers a lot fundamentals along with the stress analysis basis.
Following modules have been covered and explained in systematic way. All the design considerations have been captured and explained in such a way that whole design section is covered.
Major topics under Layout are:
•Inputs required
•Conceptual Design
–Interconnection Diagram
–Calculating rack width and no. of Tiers from Interconnection Diagram
–Operational/Maintenance/Access requirements
–Deciding the Elevation of transverse beams
Design Considerations
•Guidelines for placing lines on Piperack
Battery Limit Configurations have been explained
•Supporting & Flexibility requirements
•Equipment on Piperack
•Platforms above Piperack
Stress Analysis: Complete content is prepared by Mr. Anup Dey (Special Thanks for valuable contribution)\
Various concepts related to Stress Analysis keeping in view the Piperack piping have been captured and explained in detail.
Actual modelling in CAESAR II is done and explained in detail w.r.t. industry practices and various codes & standards.
Following major activities have been captured
Setting Ground Work
- Documents/Input Required
- Input parameters in Caesar
- Settings Unit Systems
- ·Codes & Standards usedStep By Step Modelling
- Various tools of Caesar II
- Pipeline, Fittings, Supports
- Best Practices while modeling/Analysis
- Modeling of Piperack pipingAlong with above following topics have been covered
- Expansion loops
- PSV piping analysis
The Complete course covers most of the Layout & Stress Analysis related concepts, step by step modelling in Caeser-II has been defined which every piping engineer should understand, hope this adds value to the knowledge. Happy Learning!!
