    Buried Pipe Design (B31.3 & DOT) - API 1102 vs ASCE

    As far as I am aware, there are two different codes that can be used for buried pipe design underneath a road crossing: API RP 1102 for Steel Pipelines Crossing Railroads and Highways AND ASCE Guidelines for the Design of Buried Steel Pipe. I am having trouble coming up with any major...

    Pigging through valve - Unequal wall thickness

    All - I'm preparing to order a through-conduit gate valve (24") to replace in a 24" line. On the downstream side the wall thickness is STD (0.375") on the upstream side of the valve the pipe is XH (0.500"). Since the bore of the line is changing, do I need to make any special considerations...

    Pipe Stress Analysis - Translating moment around pipe inlet

    All - I am currently in the process of designing a piping system that offloads LNG from a railcar. The simplified version of this is that I have an 8" pipe with a swivel-arm setup that can attach to the railcars as they approach to offload. I am currently creating a stress analyis model...

    Valve Questions - 22" Piggable Line

    I'm running in to the following problem: I've been asked to replace the old valves on a 22" Pigable liquid line. Currently they are using 22" Slab Gate Valves and they were wanted to replace the valves with essentially the same setup. The problem is that it seems 22" Gate valves are quite...
