Abstract
Piping systems are used to transport liquids, gases, slurries, or fine solid particles in process industries. The use of pipe was very common even in the prehistoric era, particularly bamboo pipes used for irrigation purposes.

Appendix 1: Piping Qualification as per ASME B31.1
Example 11.6
A typical piping is shown in Fig. 11.17, and the design and operation conditions are given below:
Solution
Elbow parameter (h) = tR/(rm)2
rm = mean pipe radius = (Do−t)/2 = (60.3−3.91)/2 = 28.195 mm
h = 0.375
Stress intensification factor (i) = 0.9/h2/3 = 1.73
Qualification Check for sustained load:
Actual stress is much lower than the allowable stress (Sh = 115 × 106 N/m2); hence, piping is safe under sustained loads.
Qualification Check for Thermal Load:
SA + f(Sh−SL) = 172.5 + 1 × (115−1.30) = 286.2 MPa
Stresses in piping due to thermal expansion
Actual stress is lower than the allowable stress; hence, piping is safe under thermal loads.
