Pipelines are a critical investment in infrastructure, buildings, and the construction industry. To ensure the durability and efficiency of pipeline projects, simulation-based designs are becoming increasingly essential. One vital aspect of this process is Pipe Stress Analysis, which plays a crucial role in determining the appropriate supports needed to handle various loading conditions.

At Mechartes, we conduct comprehensive Static Stress Analysis for diverse pipeline systems, including Chilled Water, Hot Water, and Condensing Water pipe networks. Our studies consider the combined weights of the pipe, liquid, and insulation, alongside pressure and temperature loads. Based on the maximum loads identified during the stress analysis, we recommend design modifications such as additional supports, anchors, and expansion joints to ensure optimal performance and safety.

Our expertise extends to the structural steel support design of typical supports, tailored to withstand the maximum forces and moments revealed by the pipe stress analysis. This includes detailed weld calculations, anchor bolt calculations, and steel bolt calculations, ensuring each component meets the highest standards of reliability. Our designs adhere strictly to international standards including ASME B31.3, ASME B31.1, ASME B31.9, ASCE 7, and ANSI/MSS SP-58 guaranteeing compliance with industry regulations.

To provide clear and actionable insights, we deliver AUTOCAD drawings that detail the basic support design, including channel size, plate thickness, and bolt size. These precise designs facilitate the seamless implementation of the recommended modifications, enhancing the overall integrity and longevity of the pipeline system.
