Abstract

Pipe means the connection of the tube in order to transfer fluid from one device to another device. The piping stress analysis is to analyze the structural stability considering the location and the features of piping support after completing the piping design, The allowable stresses comply with the requirements of the relevant standards by examining whether the support of the function and location of pipe or re-operation is confirmed. Allowable stresses are to make sure that the maximum stress should not exceed the allowable stress presented in the ASME B31.1 POWER PIPING code. ASME B31.1 POWER PIPING code ensures a smooth stress analysis can be performed during the initial pipe stress analysis as provided in the case of straight pipe to the horizontal distance between the supports. However, because there is no criteria set in the case of curved pipe, the optimum pipe supporting points were studied in this paper. As mentioned about the curved pipe, loads applied to the support of the position of 17% and 83% of the position relative to the elbow part have results similar to the load acting on the support of straight pipe.
