Piping Analysis
Sophisticated piping analysis — and the customized software for conducting it — are Structural Integrity Associates, Inc. (SI) specialties. Some examples of complex SI piping analyses used to resolve nuclear plant design and operational issues include ASME Class 1 design transient evaluations for extended license operation; thermal stratification analyses in pressurizer surge, feedwater, and spray piping; piping vibration evaluations involving socket weld cracking; analyses of flow-induced vibration in piping systems; evaluations of flow-accelerated corrosion-induced wall thinning; analyses of power uprate changes; and seismic analyses. Proprietary SI-developed software is used for analyzing thermal stratification, vessel fatigue, wall thinning, thermal shock at transitions, vibration loading, and other specific conditions. SI also uses DST Computer Services, SA's PIPESTRESS for ASME Class 1,2, 3, B31.1, and B31.3 piping analyses, and ANSYS, Inc.'s ANSYS® for ASME Code, Section III, NB-3200 finite element analyses.
