Pipe Stress Analysis
Our Pipe Stress Analysis Service
During PED’s 38 year Trading Period, one service has been foremost throughout that time namely, Pipe Stress Analysis. Hundreds of Pipe Lines have been formally analysed by PED using dedicated Pipe Stress Analysis Software and in accordance with International Piping Design Codes. Solutions have been found, by means of numerous Iterative Analysis Trials, for each Pipe Line and Pipe System to ensure Safe Design and full Compliance with the ‘Pressure Systems Regulations’. Typical stages of this Service are set out below for information purposes.
