CAESAR II gas parameter settings
Thread Content
Help, all you experts! How does CAESAR II set up pressure tests without using hydrostatic testing? Where is this done?
CaesarII calculates both primary and secondary stresses. During a pressure test, the medium temperature isn’t very high, so it has little to no effect on secondary stresses. Additionally, the gas density is relatively low, meaning it also has little impact on primary stresses. Therefore, isn’t there any need to calculate the stresses during a pressure test? Or, can’t you simply calculate the design pressure of the pipeline and the density of the medium using the parameters for a pneumatic test? Personal opinion, for reference only; P
