TRAINING PROPOSAL

General Objective
This training is designed to introduce the theories, concepts, basic engineering principles of pipe stress analysis and
the use of CAESAR II for pipe stress analysis.
Examples with hand calculations will be illustrated; however, formulae and computations will be limited to the required
minimum (so it will not bore you!). Sample models will be analyzed to include most common and important stress
analysis issues (from experience). Daily sessions will be partly theoretical and partly CAESAR II training/practice

Specific Objectives

 Overview of Pipe Stress Analysis.

 Background theories; failure modes, stress types and failure theories,
 ASME B31.3 Stresses & Allowable; Sustained, Expansion and Occasional Stresses.
 Simplified stress check; guided cantilever method.
 CAESAR II user interface; input generation, model building, error checking, building load cases, analysis, post
processing, and reporting.
 CAESAR II load case building.
 Equipment Nozzle Load Check; API for Pumps & Air-coolers, NEMA SM-23 Compressors, etc.
 Flange Leakage Verification; Pressure Equivalent Method.
 Stress Intensification Factors (SIF)
 Functional Pipe Supports.
 Spring supports (variable and constant).

Target audience
Engineering background is a prerequisite but prior knowledge of piping stress and CAESAR II is not a must.
These introductory sessions are most appropriate for Piping & Layout Engineers and Designers who are seeking to
become Pipe Stress Engineers or to expand their versatility.

However, the following professionals will equally find the training beneficial:

 Piping Supports Engineers.

 Mechanical Engineers (Including Fresh and Serving Corp (NYSC) members)
 Field Piping Inspectors
 Structural Engineers
 Project Engineers

Venue and Dates

In-house training, date to be advised by client.

Duration and Agenda

The programme is designed to be completed in five (5) days, but can be compressed depending on the availability of
participants to stay for additional hours to compress the schedule.
The full addenda with specified timing will be made available on the first day of the programme.

Clarifications
It is assumed that transportation costs and learning aids (projector, participant systems) will be provided by the client.
