Pipes move – the question is where to
A line installed cold and operated hot expands by centimetres. Where that movement is not allowed for, stresses build up that make flanges leak and nozzles crack. Pipe stress analysis anticipates that movement.

Pipe Stress & Dynamics
Piping that holds what it carries.
01 — Overview
Higher temperatures, dynamic loads, wind, earthquakes, vibration or wide support spans – then a pipe stress analysis is not optional. We calculate it for all relevant pressure and temperature load cases.
02 — In detail
What matters with Pipe Stress & Dynamics.
When it is unavoidable
With higher temperatures, dynamic loads, wind and seismic loads, vibration, wide support spans and wherever spring hangers, expansion joints or viscous dampers are used, there is no way around an analysis. Near machinery and with pressure surges a resonance study is added.
Supports in the right place
Using modern calculation software we determine the optimal position of supports, anchors, sliding bearings and spring hangers. Stress analysis follows all common standards – for ferritic and austenitic steels, GRP and plastics.
Documented for every design condition
Pressure and temperature load cases, test condition, upset case: every relevant condition is calculated and documented systematically. So everything is to hand at the next inspection.
