Stress Analysis Non-Metallic Piping With CAESAR II

Define the safe operation envelope for GRP and drip piping, applying partial factors for temperature, chemical resistance, and cyclic loading to determine qualified pressure.

Identify essential inputs for non-metallic piping stress analysis, including pipe data (outside diameter), vendor-provided mechanical properties (modulus of elasticity, coefficient of thermal expansion, thermal factor), isometrics, and seismic data.

Learn the Caesar II input window for non metallic piping, entering pipe ends, dimensions, diameter, thickness, material, process parameters (density, temperatures, pressures, hydrogen), and fittings to model analysis.

Model non-metallic piping in Caesar II by setting inputs for a three-inch pipe, temperatures 13 to 80 degrees celsius, with a three-layer structure including inner thickness 2.5 and density 1881.

Model and analyze non-metallic piping in CAESAR II, configuring ambient temperature, thermal expansion, material layers, and loads to keep stresses and nozzle loads within allowable limits.

Model bend and non-metallic piping in Caesar II by entering a three inch pipe with catalog thickness, radius, and length, then update inner and outer thickness to 5.4.

Explore how Caesar II defines and analyzes load cases for non-metallic piping, including hydrostatic, thermal, weight, and operating cases, with expansion, seismic, and wind scenarios per ISO 14692.

Examine load case 2 in the stress analysis of non-metallic piping with Caesar II to evaluate structural response under defined loading conditions.

Analyze stress in non-metallic piping using Caesar II to assess structural performance and ensure integrity under operating conditions.

Perform a Caesar II stress analysis of non-metallic piping under full-load cases to identify overstresses from lack of supports, then add a center support and reanalyze at operating temperature.

Analyze stress in non-metallic piping with Caesar II by restricting the pipe at lateral aeration to reduce the maximum nozzle moment; add a support to manage the load.

Explore stress analysis of non-metallic piping with Caesar II, addressing supports, restraints, sagging and sustained cases, and verifying loads and limits for safe piping behavior.
