The main scope of this short course is to teach how to make stress calculations in piping systems. These calculations can be done in a predesign phase, for making budgets or to check existing installations. The methods described in this course can be used in all process industries. In the course you'll find numerous worked out examples.

The topics in this course are:

• Stress in piping

• Beam theory

• Pipe thickness calculations

• Span calculations

• Thermal expansion calculation

Additionally you'll find a excel calculation sheet that can help you with these calculations.
