Peng's (and T.L. Peng's) new book is comprehensive. There is nothing 'simplified' about the book.
Pipe Stress Analysis Report
It is a good balance between the theoretical and the practical. It is very up-to-date in a world where 'yesterday' is not enough.So much has been learned about piping engineering over the last 50 years (the Kellogg book, 'Design of Piping Systems', is 50 years old now) and so much of his new knowledge is spread around so many volumes that it is hard to find it all.
Peng's book, 'Pipe Stress Engineering' is 486 pages and there is NOTHING trivial to be found on any of those pages. This book is NOT a guide (not to trivialize guides - there are at least two excellent guides available). It is a learning/teaching aid and as such the student (and I hope that includes all of us) MUST read it from cover to cover several times. As you learn, the more you will understand in the next reading. It is not fair to compare this book to the Kellogg book, it so far surpasses the Kellogg book in content that there can be NO comparison. This is NOT to trivialize the Kellogg book - THAT has been the gold standard for 50 years. It is just that there is now a NEW gold standard.By the way, did I remember to say that I LIKE this book?Regards, John RE: Pipe Stress Engineering (Mechanical) 26 Jun 09 11:15.
SOROURA,'Pipe Stress Engineering' is for everybody who aspires to be a knowledgeable piping engineer. For the 'beginner', the first read through the book will take more time but the Pengs do include basic concepts so it will not 'lose you'.
But even after you have a few years 'under your belt' you will continue to find this book helpful. This book will still be a good reference book even when you have read it five or more times - you may not remember everything that your read by then but you will remember where you can find the information. Take a look at the table of contents on the ASME web site.Regards, John. RE: Pipe Stress Engineering (Mechanical) 17 Jul 09 08:02.
John,With your recommendation, and that of my boss who employed Mr. Peng earlier in his career, several of us in my company got together and did a group purchase. I got my copy a few days ago.I agree that this is a landmark piece of work. While nothing can replace working with an experienced mentor, this book will go a long way to raising the quality of stress work for those who make the investment in their careers and get this book for themselves.Edward L.

John,I have a question.
I have just been reading the section on Code Stress Requirements and in particular the paragraph on Page 123 with some interest. The paragraph seems to say that to calculate the displacement stress range Se you have to calculate the stress range due to thermal effects (including any anchor displacements) and then add the amplitude of the stress range calculated due to seismic anchor movements. If this combined stress is greater than the stress range due to seismic anchor movements then this should be compared with the Code Sa value.
If not then the stress range due to the seismic anchor movements should be compared with the Code Sa.There is no implicit mention of this within the Code as far as I can see. Is this paragraph correct and aligned with the Code?RegardsDSB123 RE: Pipe Stress Engineering (Mechanical) 29 Nov 09 16:54. Unclesyd, I have not seen 1 pipe stress program that did NOT use offsets. You name it - Caesar II, Autopipe, Triflex, Caepipe, Simflex. Each and every one appears to use offset dimensions for input. And as I understand it, they've always offered offset dimensions for input from day 1. As I understand it, the original developer of Pipeplus sold it to Algor in the 90's and shortly thereafter left.
I have heard that Pipeplus was the 1st pipestress software program to pioneer Excel-like spreadsheet piping input, and from what I have seen, that appears to be true.We just ordered Peng's book. For those who don't know, please be aware that ASME's system for pdf book versions is very, very onerous. Any book or standard purchased as a pdf will 'lock' onto the first PC it is installed, and you cannot pass it to other engineers one-at-a-time.
Zero portability after you pay the money. That's why we're ordering book versions rather than pdf.T.L. 'Alvin' Peng used to work for KBR in Houston and has periodically worked with his dad L.C. In developing the Simflex program. RE: Pipe Stress Engineering (Mechanical) 3 Dec 09 12:57. Hi JohnBreen (Mechanical)History ALGOR in the erly 1990 when TONY PALUIN did the support for the ALGOR software and ALGOR handle FE/Pipe.After TONY PALUIN, in the mide 1990 left their was very little support for ALGOR SOFTWARE.JohnBreen (Mechanical), PAULIN RESEARCH GROUP NEW PIPE STRESS SOFTWARE IS VERY NICE.JohnBreen (Mechanical)PLEASE GIVE PAULIN RESEARCH GROUP NEW PIPE STRESS SOFTWARE A TEST.JOHN, THANK YOUStephenLeonard Stephen ThillRE: Pipe Stress Engineering (Nuclear) 28 Dec 09 14:38. JohnBreen,I recently ran across some old notes where I had talked with 'Mike' about running Pipe Plus, glad to find out his last name.
There was a note where he told us he had sold the software to Algor. This was back in the old 286 days and when you talked about running an analysis you meant running and running, hours.I also found out the Peng in my original post was the Peng referred to in the post by racookpe1978. If I recall it was Pat Peng. RE: Pipe Stress Engineering (Mechanical) 28 Dec 09 19:52.
