At Mechartes, we deliver comprehensive Pipe Stress Analysis and Design of Supports tailored specifically for the oil and gas industry, adhering to rigorous industry standards. Our expertise in this area ensures the structural integrity and operational efficiency of piping systems, which are critical for handling fluids under various conditions.We conduct a detailed pipe stress analysis to evaluate the impact of loads, thermal expansion, and operational conditions on piping systems.

Using advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA) techniques and adhering to standards such as ASME B31.3 for process piping, ASME B31.4 for pipeline transportation systems, and ASME B31.8 for gas transmission and distribution, we assess the stresses and deformations within the pipeline. This includes evaluating sustained, occasional, and thermal loads to ensure that the piping system remains within allowable stress limits and complies with safety and design requirements.

We analyze and design various types of supports, including hangers, brackets, and anchors, to ensure they provide adequate support while allowing for thermal expansion and contraction. We consider factors such as load distribution, seismic considerations, and thermal effects. The design process follows standards like ASME B31.3 and API 650 for storage tanks, ensuring that supports are optimized for stability and functionality.

Our analyses and designs are guided by key standards such as ASME B31.3 for chemical and petroleum plants, ASME B31.4 for pipelines, and ASME B31.8 for gas transmission. We also adhere to API standards for the oil and gas industry, ensuring compliance with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Mechartes combines advanced simulation tools with a deep understanding of industry standards to deliver reliable and efficient solutions for pipe stress analysis and support design. Our approach not only ensures the structural integrity of the piping systems but also enhances their operational reliability, ultimately contributing to the success of oil and gas projects.
