Piping Stress Analysis

Bergen-Power Pipe Supports, Inc. is capable of utilizing several analysis packages for an extremely comprehensive analysis of any piping system.

These packages comply with NUREG/CR-167 benchmarks and include code stress compliance for ANSI B31.1, B31.4, B31.8, ASME class 2 and 3 codes, British 806 codes, plus ANSI and UBC wind loads and code SIF calculation.

In addition to calculating piping system deflections, reactions, stresses and code compliance, Bergen-Power Pipe Supports, Inc. is capable of determining natural frequencies and mode shapes, as well as response spectrum, time history, and harmonic response.
