PIPING STRESS ANALYSIS
USING CAESAR II SOFTWARE
(A PRACTICAL APPROACH)
Over the last 30 years, he teaches numerous number of training courses that covers subjects like
turbomachinery performance, monitoring, operation and maintenance, Piping system design, testing,
inspection, and repairs, Piping system stress analysis and fitness for service, Control valves and safety
relief valves sizing, operation and maintenance, Heat transfer equipment, heat exchangers, boilers
and furnaces, Maintenance, Root cause analysis, and troubleshooting. These courses were both
public and in-house customized training courses
Course Description :
OCS Training Instructor
For piping system to serve without failure, the piping stress analysis should be incorporated during the
design process. Piping needs to perform successfully at the specified operating conditions including
temperature, pressure and environment conditions. Layout of the piping and its support should be
selected properly to minimize the applied stresses. The criterion of a successful piping layout is the
capability of the piping system to stand different types of stresses due to different types of loading,
including primary, secondary and peak stresses. In addition the piping system must be flexible enough
to accommodate the expansion stresses because of temperature variation.
Fatigue failure due to cyclic type of loading due to vibration and seismic is another aspect to be taken
into consideration when performing the stress analysis of piping systems. All the above should be done
having in mind the pertaining Codes requirements, based on the type and severity of the services.
Different methods of piping stress analysis can be applied. One should select the most effective,
proper and cost effective method. This depends on the type of service, the size of piping, and type of
loading. For large and more stringent systems a numerical methods are adopted, and commercial
software’s can be applied. Caesar II stress analysis software is one of the most efficient commercial
software that can handle different kinds of problems and cover different kinds of applications.
This course is designed to address different aspects of the piping stress analysis, teaches the partici-
pants the fundamentals and principles of piping stress analysis and piping flexibility, and allow them to
exercise different tasks using CAESAR II software.

2. Who Should Attend :
Piping engineers, Mechanical and Design Engineers, Operation and Maintenance personnel.
Training Methodology:
Each participant will have a (DEMO) copy of CAESAR II downloaded on his laptop.
Participant will exercise directly what learned from the lectures on his laptop under the directions and
supervision of the instructor
PIPING STRESS ANALYSIS
In the second day, the participant will learn
about the different loads piping system is
exposed to, and the type of stresses these
loads will generate. Since the allowable stress-
es is function of the applied stresses, type of
materials and pipe schedule and dimension,
the participant will learn how all these are relat-
ed. At the same time the participant will learn
how to incorporate all these effects in his analy-
sis CAESAR II introduce these parameters and
how one select the right value for each.
• Stresses: Definition, Types
• Stress Strain Relationship
• Materials Physical Properties: Yield and
Ultimate Strength
• Piping loads: Sustained, Thermal & Occa-
sional Type
• Hoop & Longitudinal Pipe Stresses
• Bending Loads and Stresses
• Expansion Stresses
• Stress Categories: Primary, Secondary &
Peak
• Failure Modes: maximum stress Theory, and
maximum Shear Theory
• Required Pipe Thickness
Course Agenda :
In the first day we will review the following
fundamentals pertaining piping systems. At the
same time the participant will learn how
CAESAR II addresses these issues and how
the participant can select and introduce the
input parameters to CAESAR II.
• Pipes: Manufacturing, Thickness, and Joints
• Pipes: Drawings and Dimensions
• Pipe Fittings: Types, Drawings and Dimen-
sions
• Flanges: Types, Rating, and Dimensions
• Valves: Types, Drawing, and Dimensions
• Pipe Supports and Restraints
Day 1 - Piping System Components Day 2 - Loads and Stresses
Course Objectives:
The participants will learn the basics and fundamentals of the piping stress analysis.
The participant will learn how to design a safe and flexible piping system.
The participant will learn how the layout, loads, supports, expansion techniques, operating conditions
and environment conditions affects the piping stresses and flexibility.
The participant will gain the skills to work and apply CAESAR II software to perform piping stress
analysis.
Using CAESAR II the participant will gain the skills to try different solution to make the piping system
less overstressed and more flexible.
All of the above will be addressed based on the pertinent codes and standards

PIPING STRESS ANALYSIS
Course Agenda :
In day three participant will learn about the
allowable stresses based on the failure criterion
the selected code addressed. The participant
and the governing code through CAESAR II will
learn how the stresses and flexibility of the
piping system is function of the piping layout and
piping support. At the same time the participant
will calculate the stresses on machinery nozzles
and compare it with the allowable values as
recommended by codes.
• Allowable Stresses
• Flexibility design
• Codes Requirements
• Codes Formulas:
• Stresses due to Sustained Loads
• Stresses due to Occasional Loads
• Stresses due to Expansion Loads
• Simplified Thermal Expansion Analysis
• Piping Support Spacing
• Allowable stresses on nozzles (rotting
machines and static equipment)
Day 3 - Piping Stress Analysis
Input Parameters to consider:
• Geometric layout of Pipe, Pipe supporting
configuration, Pipe Diameter and Thickness,
Pressure inside Pipe, Cold and Hot tempera-
tures of Pipe, Weight of Pipe and insulation,
Weight of carrying Fluid, Pipe material Proper-
ty (Young’s Modulus, Thermal Expansion
Coefficient), Thrust on pipe due to blowing
wind, Thrust on pipe due to earthquake, Load
of Snow on pipe, Any transient loading like
Steam Hammer load, Any other load on the
piping.
Output to calculate and examined:
• Stress of the pipe at various loading condi-
tions
• Load at various supports and restrains.
• Movement of pipe at support locations
• Pipe terminal point (anchor, equipment) load-
ing.
Day 4 - 5 Case Studies
In day 4 and 5, the participants will be given
actual cases to perform and practice stress
analysis of different piping systems. Different
types of loading, Different materials, different
sizes, different supports, different codes,
different operating and environmental condi-
tions will be exercised. First, simple piping
systems will be tried and then proceed to more
complicated systems. In each case the partici-
pant will start with a suggested piping system,
calculate the stresses and flexibility, then
iterate by introducing certain solutions until
arriving to un-over stressed and flexible solu-
tion.
