Kannappan S. Introduction To Pipe Stress Analysis

John Wiley$Sons, Inc., 1986. 246 p. — ISBN: 0471815896.Until 1967 piping design was performed primarily using rule-of-thumb layout design procedures and preanalyzed piping layout data in tabular form. The publication of ANSI B31.1-1967 Power Piping Code and the availability of analysis computer programs have introduced cost-effective piping design.
The objective of this book is to present a practical approach to analytical piping design. It is intended to be used by engineers in the industry and students interested in piping design. Knowledge of applied mechanics and strength of materials is a must for understanding this book.
Pipe stress analysis provides the necessary technique for engineers to design piping systems without overstressing and overloading the piping components and connected equipment.
