I think, I havenot made clear that by flex hose here, I mean flexible metal hose.

I am doing stress analysis of Piping. The piping that I am analysing contains a no. of Flex hoses. But I have a concern the way we model the Flexhose. First concern is whether Flexhose should be modeled as single piece, two-piece or multiple pieces. I have observed that modeling in two-piece or...

Thanks StressGuy, Actually the temperature is 850 F. If I am not providing the U Bolts there, the forces at anchors are too high. I want to use the standard U blt than special support to be economical.

Thanks JohnBreen for your input. The system is designed to ASMEB31.3 I have completed the flexibility and stress analysis with 0.5" gaps in the u-bolt guides.And the system results are with in limits. Analysis doest not ask for use of spring hangers I am just worried how the use of u-bolts...

BIGINCH Let me put the question again: The pressure and temperature are 250 psig and 85 0 F on 4" NPS Pipe .The flowing media is natural gas. When I design the piping layout , I required to give 0.5" gaps in the support so as to allow thermal displacement , other wise stresses are too high...

Thank all of you for your inputs. As per Khardy’s suggestion. I am providing some more details about the piping I am doing. The pressure and temperature are 250 psig and 85 0 F .The flowing media is gas. My main question is whether I should design special supports at each support location or...

Hi I feel piping and piping support is an art, which comes from a rich work experience and sharing the learning so as others can avoid the mistake and can deliver good and safe design to customer an ultimately to the people. I am a budding piping engineer involved mostly in the pipe...

Thanks, JohnBreen for ur input. I started with those four pages of summary of changes. Weld strength factors were intoduced in 2004 edition, so they are included in present software version. Looking for some more detailed inputs. Thanks, SRM

Hi, this is my first post. I am required analyse the changes in ASME b31.3 2006 edition from 2004 edition, Since we were using 2004 edition till now for our piping analysis.Is there really a need to upgrade the software we are using to 2006? What are the changes that Really can be concern while...
