About this document
SIF Calculation for Special Piping Geometries by Bogdan Chivulescu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
- Stress intensification factors (SIF) are parameters that allow designers to estimate stresses in pipelines for geometries not covered by piping codes. - For special geometries like valves and strainers, SIF must be calculated according to ASME B31J, which provides two methods: physical testing or finite element analysis (FEA). - FEA simulation is more efficient and can determine SIF to input into flexibility programs like CAESAR II for stress analysis of modified components.
