Stress analysis of piping for the HTH 490

FEST-Engineering Ltd. announces the completion of a project focused on the stress analysis of piping for the HTH 490 (Hydrogen Horizontal Tank) for Chart Ferox a.s. The project involved analyzing the piping system and optimizing it under extreme operating conditions.

Scope of Work:

• Inspection and optimization of internal and external piping under extreme operating conditions.
• Determination of maximum allowable stress for penetrations and nozzles on the inner and outer shells of the cryogenic tank.
• Comparison of calculated loads at pipe-to-plate intersections with normative values according to ASME B31.3.
• Stress analysis of nozzles using the WRC module.

Standards and Software Used:

• Standard: ASME B31.3.
• Software: ROHR2 for structural analyses and PROBAD for nozzle checks using the WRC module.

This project was successfully completed, meeting safety and reliability requirements in the field of cryogenic hydrogen storage.
