Pipe Stress Analysis  - Certificate Program

A pipe stress analysis (thermal flexibility analysis) predicts stresses in piping and loads on equipment resulting from thermal gradients, thermal transients, weights, pressure, and bolt-up strain. This study is typically required for piping that experiences high temperature fluctuations, or for long pipe runs such as hot piping to coolers or headers. The course provides participants with training in performing piping stress analysis by using software. The introduction of the course covers the basic background of codes and standards, supporting, flexibility and the main features of all piping stress analysis software. The course then presents all phases of use, including modeling, performing static analysis, review of results, performing equipment code check, design of spring supports and expansion joints, underground pipes, steel structures and dynamic analysis. The course shall include on-screen lecturing, examples, typical problem solving and hands-on training in the use of the program.

Career Options

Piping Stress Engineer has great scope in India & Abroad. Stress Engineering is a specialized engineering discipline that deals with the planning and layout of a robust piping system with an aim to effectively transport fluids, such as liquids and gases, from one point to the other within a process plant or a commercial building.

 

Owing to the fact that pipes are quite elementary to our day-to-day needs and to industries such as Oil & Gas, Energy, Construction, Manufacturing, Chemical etc., there is always a need for trained and skilled Piping Engineers who can support the design, implementation and maintenance of complex and large-scale piping systems for these industries.​

Program Eligibility

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering with relevant work experience from any recognized University or an equivalent degree recognized by Association of Indian Universities (AIU) with minimum 50% marks at Graduation Level.
