Flexibility Analysis (Stress Analysis)
KTI is equipped with the latest version of Caesar II — the industry's most trusted piping stress analysis software — used extensively in oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation industries.
Industry-Leading Piping Stress Analysis
Piping stress analysis is a critical engineering discipline that ensures the structural integrity and safe operation of piping systems under various loading conditions. KTI's team of experienced stress engineers uses Caesar II to evaluate thermal expansion, weight, pressure, wind, seismic, and dynamic loads — delivering comprehensive reports that guide design decisions and ensure code compliance.
Complete Static Stress Analysis
Complete Stress Analysis of piping systems is performed using Caesar II, covering metallic pipes and equipment for system design. The results of analysis are provided to the customer with all required details, recommendations, and modifications in the system if required.
- Sustained, occasional, and expansion load cases
- Code compliance checks (ASME B31.3, B31.4, B31.8)
- Nozzle load evaluation on rotating and static equipment
- Support type and location optimization
Dynamic & Water Hammer Analysis
KTI is not only limited to static stress analysis — it can also be extended to dynamic stress analysis including water hammer calculation and modal analysis. This covers equipment analysis for both static and rotating equipment involving allowable nozzle loads as per international standards.
- Water hammer (transient) dynamic analysis
- Modal and response spectrum analysis
- Time-history analysis for slug flow
- Rotating equipment nozzle load compliance
Economical & Reliable Design
KTI's rich experience in this field helps provide customers with the most economical and cost-effective design of piping and pipeline systems, taking into consideration all related project parameters. This analysis also leads to the use of proper process and design details during manufacturing and installation.
- Minimized support count through optimized routing
- Reduced material costs via accurate load calculations
- Fewer field modifications during installation
- Comprehensive documentation for project records
