STRESS ANALYSIS
Americal National Code for Pressure Piping: ANSI B 31
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Design Pressure
• The design pressure of each component in a piping system shall not be
less than the pressure at the most sever condition of coincident
internal or external pressure and temperature (minimum or
maximum), expected during service.
• The most severe condition is that which results in the greatest required
component thickness and the highest component rating.
Design Temperature
• The design temperature of each component in a piping system is the
temperature is the temperature at which, under coincident pressure,
the greatest thickness or highest component rating is required.
1. Uninsulated Metallic Components:
Fluid Temp < 100F(38C): Component temp = Fluid temp.
Fluid Temp => 100F (38C): Unless a lower average wall
temperature is indicated by test or heat transfer
calculations, the temperature for uninsulated component
shall be no less than following.
o : Valves, pipe, lapped end welding fittings and
other components having wall thickness
comparable to that of pipe : 95 % of fluid
temperature.
o : Flanges (Except lap joint) including those on
fittings and valves : 90 % of fluid temperature.
o : Lap joint flanges : 85 % of fluid temperature.
o : Bolting : 80 % of fluid temperature.
2. Externally Insulated Piping:
The component design temperature shall be fluid
temperature unless calculations, tests or services
