OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL PIPING STRUCTURAL DESIGN

Piping network design system has significant role in industrial sector to minimizing losses through designing effective and simplest network. Piping system is time consuming, complex and expensive effort process for construction and chemical plants. The objective of paper is to explore overview of piping network system design, its requirements. ASME B31.3 design grade has elaborated with application. Concept of flexibility such as flexibility factor, stress intensification factor has discussed. Use of different piping analysis software overviewed for their effectiveness study.
