Piping failures can put safety, reliability, and valuable resources at risk. The good news is that many of these failures are avoidable when engineers and designers take a disciplined approach to modeling, verification, and risk evaluation. Over the...
Piping and pressure vessel engineers face a complex challenge when designing safe, reliable systems: accurately evaluating stresses, deformations,...
Modern process facilities often face design challenges that extend beyond the limits of conventional piping codes. Systems with large...
The evaluation of flange designs has evolved with the incorporation of Code Case 2901 (CC 2901) into ASME Section VIII, Division 1 (UG-44(b)) and...

Ratcheting is a critical failure mode in pressure vessels and piping systems, occurring when progressive and incremental plastic strain accumulates...
In pressure vessel and piping (PVP) design, various analysis methods are used to assess the safety and performance of systems. While hand...
As piping systems advance, engineering methods must adapt to meet the changing demands. This was the key realization for Robert Weyer, Lead Piping...
