The EN13480 design code is commonly used for piping system design in Europe. However, when employing automated pipe flexibility software like CAESAR II, the underlying calculations can sometimes become less clear. This course provides a detailed explanation of the fundamental equations and principles within these design rules. It covers essential aspects such as calculating allowable design stress, the significance of specific load cases, the inter-stiffener distance required to prevent vacuum-induced collapse, and the allowed cycles to prevent fatigue failure. The course also includes a discussion of the EN13480 code, comparing it with the American ASME B31.3 code.
In addition to explaining and applying the rules, the course encourages critical analysis of the rationale behind each rule.
The course comprises 7 online modules with video content, offering one year of unlimited access to both the course and the discussion forum for refreshing your knowledge as needed for your professional projects.
