Industrial Piping Engineering is a fundamental discipline that ensures the safe and efficient transport of fluids across process plants, refineries, power stations, and other critical facilities. Beyond the physical connection of components, this field requires a deep understanding of thermodynamics, materials mechanics, regulatory frameworks, and—crucially—piping stress analysis. A poorly designed piping system can lead to […]

Stress and flexibility analysis—also known as stress analysis—is a fundamental discipline in piping system design. Its purpose is to assess whether a pipeline can withstand loads imposed by internal, external, or combined conditions without compromising the system’s integrity. A piping system must have sufficient flexibility to absorb both thermal expansion and contraction, as well as […]

Nowadays, in many types of industrial plants, there are pressure vessels in service that work at temperatures that could be considered as severe, either low (cryogenic) or, conversely, high temperature. One of the main problems that needs to be addressed is the interaction with the support components of these equipment, that is, foundations or supporting […]
