RE: Dyanamic analysis

Dear Angadi,

BE prepared to face some comments you might not have expected. This list is for the highly experienced piping professionals to discuss their problems/suggestions/ reminiscences encountered in their career.

Your question is very basic in nature. Understanding the dynamics of a piping is very tricky and very difficult. It will always depend on the operating scenarios, process conditions, support integrity, extent of involvement of small bore piping and branches in the system, connected machinery and its supporting, flow parameters, and a lot.

You may be using some flexibility analysis software for the job. You can refer the manuals and if you still require further info you can enquire at their online discussion forums, if available. If you are using Caesar II, visit their website at www.coade.come <http://www.coade.come/> , there may be lot articles/discussions on the subject.

Caution yourself that unless you understand the problem and the dynamics theory, you won't perform the analysis,

All the best wishes,

George

Subject: [PipingDesign] Dyanamic analysis

Dear friends,

I am looking to start the Dynamic analysis of piping system with centrifugal pump and another piping system with surge and wind loads. Can any one help me in giving the idea how to start off with initial assumptions and data. To set the frequencies and which type of dynamic analysis suits whic applications etc.

group may find this question as very basic one, but expereinced ones knowledge will help other one and that's how the groups objective is met.

Thanks
