Strength Assessment of Piping

Computational Piping Stress Analyses

To assess the impact of different loading conditions on piping systems and components, the stress situation related to these loadings has to be determined and evaluated. For this purpose suitable, powerful and cost-efficient analysis tools are required to achieve reasonable and meaningful results. Due to increasing availability and growing usage of numerical calculation methods the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) can now be considered as a standard tool for the design optimization and verification of various applications.

At TÜV SÜD we rely on modern and internationally recognized simulation tools as well as on a highly qualified and experienced staff.

As an independent consultancy service provider, TÜV SÜD offers to perform or to review any piping stress analyses, concerning

• Static, dynamic and cyclic analyses
• Linear and non-linear constraints
• Buried pipings and pipelines
• FRP-piping
• Integrity analyses for piping components, supports and connecting nozzles
• As-built assessment
• Third party evaluation
