Program

Functions

START

Strength and rigidity analysis for steam and hot water pipelines, main gas and oil pipelines, process steel pipings. Branched 3D pipelines with various design of end and intermediate supports, with various expansion joints made in the form of corrugated, lens-shaped, stuffing box, or bellows type pipe compensators under static and cyclic loading of various nature (temperature expansion, concentrated and distributed loads, support movement, tension, and compression) are calculated. If required, the program automatically selects spring supports and calculates their tightening torque. Pipeline and fixtures strength and bearing capacity assessment is done for various Russian standards (conformity with norms confirmed by Certificate of Gosstroy RF ROSS RU.SP11. N 00003 Gosstroy RF № 0075985).

Program includes the base module START –Base and additional modules. For the designing complex large- dimensions pipelines instead of START –Base module is delivered START –BaseProf module.

Program is completed by the following additional modules:

START- Ground

calculation of segments for channelless pipe laying in soil

START-DXF

conversion of pipeline planning layout into DXF files for processing with AUTOCAD and MICROSTATION graphical systems,

START-Rejection

calculation of rejected thicknesses for pipes and fittings

START-Specified Life

calculation of lifetime for process steel pipelines under design, the sizes of which has been selected using RTM 38.001-94 guidelines

Program

Functions

START-Light

The facilitated version of the program START. Also can be used for preparation of data, and as a pre- and postprocessor of the program. Computes schemes of pipelines with a degree of static and kinematic indefinability up to 150. Contains modules START, START-Ground, START-DXF and START-Word.

The program allows to calculate strength and stability of straight pipe; strength of elbows and t-joints, allowable spans, expansion ability L, Z-, and П -shaped compensators of pipes of surface, channel and channelless laying; strength of standard units for branches tie-ins into the main pipeline (including channelless laying); maximum allowable distance between start compensators in pipelines of heating systems.

Shtutser (Nozzle)

Calculation of local stresses at nozzle/vessel connections subject to various forms of external loading and internal pressure. The program allows calculating connection stiffness (flexibility) for use in a pipe stress model. Based on well known engineering design standards Welding Research Council (WRC) Bulletin 107, WRC297, BS5500, GOST 24755-89. Helps engineers and designers to determine whether or not the wall of a pressure vessel can withstand piping loads on the nozzle.

Resource

Contains calculation of g -percentage residual lifetime of steel industrial pipelines with working pressure up to 10 MPa according to RD 10-400-01, RTM 38.001-94. Calculation is based on method of estimation of residual resource, agreed with Gosgortechnadzor RF dated 11.01.96. Method spreads on pipelines which are subjected to corrosion-erosion wear. Basic data for this calculation is allowable stresses and measured thickness of walls.
