Directing and Managing thermal growth is possible because thermal growth will always find the Path of Least Resistance. The key to Pipe Stress engineering is managing and directing thermal growth. Thermal growth is too powerful to be contained.

PT&P has put this primer together for those who want a basic understanding without getting into the detailed engineering and knowledge of how to run a Pipe Stress program such as Caesar II or Auto Pipe.Īs can be seen from the chart below, the issue of thermal expansion can be even greater with some non-metallic materials used in piping systems. In addition, most plant maintenance, engineering, inspection, and turnaround personnel have a broad set of responsibilities and Pipe Stress may be a minor portion of these responsibilities. The challenge PT&P has seen is that the majority of people who tackle Pipe Stress related issues and maintenance daily do not have a background in Pipe Stress Engineering.
40-48% of the engineering labor hours in a new plant build go towards piping and the high-temperature piping, where pipe stress analysis is required, is the most engineered portion of the piping system. It is a niche area of engineering that is not widely taught in schools. Pipe Stress Analysis deals with issues that arise from the thermal growth of piping.
