wall thikness

Hi everybody

is there any refrence to determine the wall thikness ?

thnx for help in advance !!

Looking at your recent three posts ..... should you be attempting to do this work ?

Do you have nobody in your organisation that can help you ?

Hi

Actually yes, i'm trying to do this work by myself !! no one here in the company can help because no one know CAESAR !

i started with reading some posts in this forum & looking for tutorials on the net !!


hope i'll finish this work in the end to keep my job

Caesar will not help you directly to determine wall thickness. You should have this information and much more, before you even consider starting Caesar II.

Which Design Code are you dealing with ?

yes i know that CAESAR won't help me directly that's why i'm here !!

would you tell me please which kind of informations i need to have before starting CAESAR II ?

and thnx a lot for ur attention




PS: Design Code: B31.3

Manyo,

Pipe wall thickness should be specified in the "Piping Material Specification" or "Piping class".

If, however you need to calculate the wall thickness, take a look in B31.3, it is written there how to determine this (never leave your home without the code:) ).

Regards,


P.S. I think that your boss never open the B31.3

Dan,

i really appreciate your supply ! i found in B 31.3 how to determine wall thikness !!

i guess i'll be able to finish this work before the week thanks to advices of all the guys here


one last question: what is the optimal distance between nodes to have a better analysis?

Mayno,

Normally the nodes have a specific mean (nozzle, restraint, elbow, tee, ...). Caesar can read everything on nodes but not in between. Read COADE Mechanical Engineering News June 2000, page.19. (of course after that read all the documents you can find ). You will understand that sometimes you need a more refined model.

Regards,

Dan,

thnx thnx thnx thnx thnx thnx thnx !!!
i finished the task & i've got great results !


thanks for all the people that gave me a hand !!
