Q. Stress analysis reporting?

• Stress sketch with all node points, dimensions, pipe schedule, weights of non-standard components, e.g., control valves and actuators, insulation thickness' and densities assumed, design cases considered and analyzed, end conditions assumed, growth charts of tall vessels and towers, normal displacement of horizontal vessels, support and spring hanger locations, friction considered, etc.

• Computer generated stress sketch showing node points and piping restraints.

• "All properties" input listing, including ambient temperature used unless files are archived onto a CD-Rom

• Minimum output listing

- "Operating" case - Anchor, Restraint and Support reactions

- Displacements

- "Sustained" case - Stress and Code compliance report

- "Thermal" case - Stress and Code compliance report

(where applicable) - Spring Hanger Table

(where applicable) - Rotating Equipment code compliance report

(where applicable) - Nozzle flexibility calculations

Approximate Analysis

• Stress sketch with overall dimensions, pipe schedule, weights, insulation thickness and density, design cases considered and analyzed, end conditions assumed, support locations.

• Hand calculations performed.

• All revisions to isometrics of lines requiring stress analysis shall be checked against the existing stress file.
