CAESAR II Dynamic Pipe Stress Analysis & Spool Detailing

Preventing piping failure, reducing nozzle loads on critical rotating equipment, and delivering production-ready spool fabrication drawings.

Piping Mechanics

Safeguarding Industrial Piping Integrity Under All Operating Conditions

Piping systems in petrochemical refineries, FPSO platforms, and power stations undergo severe thermal expansion, pressure surges, acoustic vibrations, and seismic ground motions. MES offers comprehensive pipe flexibility and dynamic stress analysis utilizing Hexagon CAESAR II.

We ensure total compliance with ASME B31.1 (Power Piping), ASME B31.3 (Process Piping), ASME B31.4 (Liquid Transportation), and ASME B31.8 (Gas Transmission) codes while optimizing support locations to keep structural costs low.

Key Pipe Stress Scope

Rotating Equipment Nozzle Checks API 610 pumps, API 617 compressors, NEMA SM23 turbines
Spring Support & Hanger Design Variable & constant effort springs, rigid struts, snubbers
Dynamic Surge & Waterhammer Transient hydrodynamic calculations & relief valve thrust
Offshore FPSO Blast & Motion Hull deflection, wave slamming & accelerations

Automated Pipe Spool Detailing (Spoolgen / ProCAD)

Beyond calculations, MES delivers high-precision pipe spool fabrication packages ready for the workshop floor. We extract isometrics directly from the 3D model, generating:

  • Automated Spool Break Points with transport & galvanizing limits considered.
  • Comprehensive Weld Summary Sheets (Shop vs. Field Welds & NDT percentage).
  • Itemized Bill of Materials (BOM) with exact cut lengths, flanges, gaskets, and bolting.
