Dear All,
I work in an engineering company here in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Very recently, we have been asked by our clients to perform STRESS ANALYSIS FOR THE FIRE FIGHTING PIPELINES.
But my engineer initially said that for FIGHTING PIPELINES, stress analysis is not required as the water is going to remain still inside the pipes for a long time & also the ambient temperature & fluid temperature is almost the same. Sometime later he said that it is not possible for the line to be modeled in CAESAR (as the pipe material & Spec is not present in CAESAR)
Another engineer said that it shall only be performed for lines 5" & above. Below 5", analysis is not needed.
Can anyone please advice on this.
Thanks.
Chris
