Summarizing the major characteristics of static versus dynamic loads: 

Static Loads: 

1. 1 - load varies slowly, or does not vary, with time (weight, thermal expansion, settlement, spring loads, etc.) 

2. 2 - system (internal forces and restraint loads)...

Most of the loads discussed to this point in these Pipe Stress Analysis Notes have been static loads (or in some cases, dynamic loads modeled as static loads). Static loads are those which are applied slowly enough that the piping system has time to react and internall...

CAESAR II provides a tool which simplifies this analysis, a flange analysis module — accessible from the WRC 297, SIFS, FLANGES submenu — which allows the user to evaluate leakage of flanges under load — a more realistic analysis process than performing an equivalent p...

Meena Development LTD. offers design, maintenance, and troubleshooting engineering services to chemical plants, refineries, utilities, water processing and purification facilities, paper mills, energy and power generation, steel mills etc. Our services focus on structu...

Traditionally, analysis of flanges under piping loads has been done by converting piping loads to an "equivalent pressure", which can then be added to the actual system design pressure, the sum of which is then compared to the ANSI Standard B16.5 "Pipe Flanges and Flan...
