Issue 3 – Pipe Stress Analysis

Pipe Stress Analysis, Along with Pipe Code Review and Analysis,
is Instrumental for a Successful Piping System
Cintar Connection – Issue 3

In this edition of Cintar Connection we take a look at Pipe Codes and Pipe Stress Analysis. ASME Codes and pipe stress analysis are an integral aspect of piping design and maintenance. The Codes indicate materials and limits for the piping, and pipe stress analysis determines the actual forces acting on the piping. By knowing the analysis results and the Codes, the engineer can properly design and support the piping system.

Issue 2 – Arc Flash

Arc Flash Safety Codes Update and Clarify the Labeling
Requirements for Energized Electrical Equipment
Cintar Connection – Issue 2

In this edition of Cintar Connection we take a look at arc flash labeling. The NFPA 70E labeling requirements were updated in 2015, and with this update came some clarifications on the types of equipment that require labeling and changes to the information required on labels.

Along with the labeling, NFPA 70E 2015 requires training/retraining every 3 years. At Cintar, we emphasize the importance of understanding the methodology behind how equipment is labeled in order to keep personnel safe around energized equipment. We work with facility Owners to create, update and train based on each site’s specific hazards and risks.
