I'm primarily a structural engineer and am somewhat new to the world of pipe stress analysis. I have a few questions.
When is a pipe stress analysis typically required? Are there any piping systems for which pipe stress analysis is overkill?
Are pipe fittings typically stronger than the pipe itself?
