Power Plant Piping Stress Analysis (Compatibility Mode)

This document discusses the requirements for piping stress analysis according to the ASME B31.1 Code for a power plant project. It identifies critical lines that require stress analysis, including high temperature lines, equipment lines connected to rotating machinery, lines requiring flexibility analysis, relief lines, and other stress critical lines commonly found in power plants. The document also addresses piping stress analysis requirements for sustained loads, occasional loads, and expansion loads according to the B31.1 Code.
