Description

In the complex world of industrial engineering, the reliability and integrity of storage tanks play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient operation of various processes. One key aspect often overlooked is the intricate network of piping that connects these tanks to the broader infrastructure. Piping stress analysis is a critical discipline that evaluates the structural integrity of these interconnected systems, aiming to prevent potential failures and optimize performance.Storage tanks are ubiquitous in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, water, and pharmaceuticals, serving as vessels for storing liquids and gases. The piping systems that connect these tanks play a pivotal role in facilitating the transfer of materials within the industrial landscape. However, the environmental conditions, thermal fluctuations, settlement, bulging effect, and operational stresses can subject these piping systems to immense pressure, potentially leading to structural failures.Storage tank piping stress analysis is, therefore, imperative to ensure the integrity and reliability of the entire system. The analysis involves a comprehensive evaluation of the piping components, considering factors like temperature changes, fluid flow dynamics, tank settlement, bulging effect, and external forces. By identifying potential stress points and vulnerabilities, engineers can implement measures to mitigate risks, enhance safety, and extend the lifespan of the infrastructure.This course will cover the following aspects:Why is Tank Piping Systems Critical?What is Tank Settlement and Bulging?How to Model the Tank Nozzles and consider the settlement and bulging effects in analysis?How to create analysis load cases specific to tank pipingThis storage tank piping stress analysis course will help you to ensure the robustness and reliability of interconnected piping systems.
