PRESSURE PIPING THICKNESS AND FLANGE RATING CALCULATION
This case study demonstrates the use of a script and a Generic 4D chart to enable Flownex® to calculate standards-compliant wall thicknesses and flange ratings of piping used in high pressure flow applications.
“Using a simple script and Generic 4D chart combination, the design capability of Flownex® has been extended to include pressure piping wall thickness and flange rating. This enables the process engineer to account for various pipe wall thickness requirements during the thermo-fluid design phase and well before piping engineers are required to verify the structural properties of the piping system. This may potentially reduce the amount of rework as it will be less likely that the wrong pipe schedule and flange ratings are used during the process design phase and development of initial datasheets and Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs).”
