High-temperature piping stress analysis for an LNG train
2024North West Shelf operator (confidential) · Energy & Renewables
Lead piping stress engineerHands-on
CAESAR II stress analysis and support redesign for a re-routed high-temperature process line.
Challenge
Re-route forced by vessel replacement imposed thermal-growth patterns outside the original allowable envelope.
Solution
Recalculated loads under ASME B31.3; redesigned three rest and two spring supports; validated against measured hot-walkdown data.
Outcome
Line commissioned with measured displacements within 5 mm of prediction; no further support rework required.
