Pipe Stress Analysis

Pipe Stress Analysis Services in India | KHAAS Design & Engineering

At KHAAS Group, we offer specialized Pipe Stress Analysis Services to ensure that your piping systems are designed not only to function — but to endure. Through advanced simulation and code-based evaluations, we identify potential risks related to thermal expansion, pressure, vibration, and equipment loading — before they become costly failures.

Our experienced team of engineers uses cutting-edge tools to analyze piping systems across industries including oil & gas, chemical, power, and pharmaceutical sectors.

What is Pipe Stress Analysis?

Pipe Stress Analysis is the process of evaluating the response of a piping system to mechanical, thermal, dynamic, and external loads. It helps ensure that:

  • Piping components stay within allowable stress limits

  • Thermal expansion does not damage equipment or connections

  • Loads on nozzles and supports are within acceptable ranges

  • The system complies with international design codes

A thorough analysis helps reduce unplanned downtime, increase system life, and improve safety.

Our Pipe Stress Analysis Capabilities

We design with purpose — and our process reflects that. Each dropdown below outlines a core phase of our workflow, showing how we move from digital concepts to construction-ready solutions.

  • We assess how the pipe system responds to various static and thermal loads, including:

    • Sustained (dead weight + internal pressure)

    • Operating (temperature and pressure)

    • Thermal expansion and contraction

    • Occasional loads (wind, seismic, surge)

    • Settlement and support displacements

    We apply all relevant load combinations and evaluate against material stress limits.

  • Excessive forces on pumps, compressors, vessels, and tanks can lead to fatigue, misalignment, or failure. We check and ensure compliance with:

    • API 610 / API 617

    • NEMA SM-23

    • Manufacturer-specific nozzle load limits

    • Custom client standards

  • We optimize pipe routing and support locations to:

    • Ensure system flexibility

    • Minimize anchor loads

    • Control deflection and stress

    • Avoid over-constrained piping

    • Accommodate expansion without causing overstress

    This includes the use of hangers, guides, anchors, and expansion loops or joints.

  • Our analysis results are clearly documented and include:

    • Stress isometric drawings

    • Load summary reports

    • Nozzle load verification sheets

    • Support location and types

    • Expansion loop recommendations

    • Code compliance summary
