Covered Piping Systems (CPS) Stress Analysis

Analyzing stresses in as-found piping runs is at times required, particularly if the configuration has changed due to modifications or repairs since the original construction, or if there have been transient events that have affected the piping layout.

Covered Piping Systems (CPS) Stress Analysis

Tetra Engineering provides Covered Piping Systems (CPS) stress analysis, using industry-standard software to predict stresses and analyze loads on piping and equipment. Our risk-ranking helps identify high-risk areas for inspection & Non-Destructive Examination (NDE), enhancing safety and inspection planning.

‍Our services include:

Comprehensive Analysis: Assesses & predicts stresses due to thermal gradients, seismic activity, weights, pressure, and mounting strain.
Dynamic Analysis: Analysis of piping systems subject to vibration can be performed if required
Degradation Risk Evaluation: Identifies degradation threats, including creep, fatigue, graphitization, flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC), and corrosion under insulation (CUI).
Risk prioritized NDE and Inspection Planning: Risk-ranked list of critical piping locations. This ranking guides NDE prioritization and informs future condition assessments, helping maintain safety and optimize inspection planning.

The scope can cover analyzing entire sets of external pipe runs from steam generators and other balance-of-plant, or focused analysis on pipe sections after modifications, process upsets or failures
