Updated ASME B31.3 (Process Piping) and B31.1 (Power Piping) codes, which are essential for ensuring compliance with current standards in the industry. International Codes:
Gas Transmission and Distribution Piping Systems. International Codes UKOOA: For offshore plastic/GRP piping design. CODETI: French piping code standards. En 13480: European metallic industrial piping standard. 4. Key User Interface and Modeling Workflow CAESAR II 5.3
Engineers enter data node-by-node. You specify pipe diameters, wall thickness, material properties, insulation weight, and operating temperatures. Updated ASME B31
One of the highlights of version 5.3 was its improved ability to model underground piping alongside above-ground systems, factoring in soil stiffness, friction, and settlement. It also allowed for basic structural steel modeling, enabling engineers to see how the pipe support steel deflected under the weight of the operating lines.
