hello everybody,

I would like to know if there is any restriction to use Caesar to do piping stress calculations with design conditions such as :

- 915 barg at 204°C

I'm wondering particularly about :
SIFs : are they still correct in Caesar for this level of pressure or do we have to perform extra calculations with an FEA software ?
bourdon effect & stiffening due to pressure : will these options still applicable for this high pressure ?

I guess the piping code will be B31.3 but I haven't yet the formal contract information (we are currently trying to bid to this pre-FEED project).

Thank you in advance for reading,

Regards
