Piping Stress Analysis
We specialize in providing expert piping stress analysis services, focusing on both static and dynamic piping systems. Our extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of industry codes and standards enable us to deliver precise, tailored solutions for our clients in almost every sector including highly regulated industries such as oil & gas and nuclear. Our expert team delivers precise and effective solutions that ensure the operational and structural integrity of process piping systems, from initial design to long-term functionality.
Our structural and stress analysis specialists help simulate the movement of non-stationary objects in vibration analyses, lifting analyses, and other services. With our technology and experience in structural stress analysis, we quantify and further rectify failures in the structure of components that do not meet the proposed design plan and recommend the proper solutions.
Detailed Piping Stress Analysis
We thoroughly evaluate piping systems, confirming their integrity under operational stresses, including pressure, temperature, and external loads. This ensures that the system can handle real- time c onditions and potential operational extremes.
Static Pipe Flexibility Analysis
Flexibility analysis focuses on ensuring that piping systems can accommodate thermal and mechanical stresses without failure, thus preventing issues like excessive deflection, fatigue, and overstressing.
Dynamic Analysis
Dynamic stress analysis includes transient conditions like mechanical vibration, water hammer, slug flow, and other dynamic loads. These analyses help mitigate potential damage and ensure the longevity and safety of piping systems.
Water Hammer Analysis
Water hammer events can cause significant pressure surges, leading to potential failures in pumps, valves, and other equipment. We conduct detailed analyses to identify and mitigate the causes of water hammer, ensuring equipment protection and system stability.
Vibration & Shock Analysis
Vibration and shock analysis focuses on identifying resonances, pressure pulsations, and mechanical vibrations that can lead to failures. This analysis is particularly critical for systems exposed to dynamic loads, such as rotating equipment and compressors.
MECS specializes in Stress Analysis and covers every CODE requirements including Nuclear Codes
Support Selection and Design
Proper support selection and design are critical for ensuring that piping systems remain stable under both static and dynamic loads. Our team designs optimized support systems, including spring hangers and other specialized components, to maintain system flexibility and structural integrity.
Spring Hanger Design
We design spring hangers for both new and existing systems, ensuring that they can accommodate the required loads without compromising system performance or safety.
Impact Analysis
We assess the impact of external forces on static structures such as construction components and machinery. This analysis ensures that structures can withstand unexpected forces, preserving their long-term reliability.
Structural Analysis: In-service, Lifting, and Transportation
Our structural analysis services cover the full lifecycle of a structure, from in-service performance to safe transportation and installation. We simulate movement and evaluate the effects of lifting and transporting components to prevent failure during these critical phases.
Steel Structure Design and Analysis
MECS Engineering also provides comprehensive analysis and design of steel structures, ensuring that they meet all safety and functional requirements. Our structural design calculations are detailed and tailored to each project, providing the necessary documentation for approval and compliance.
