Design - EPM
"Engineered Pipe Model" from Merivale Design Group take the guess work out of pipe designs.
Reduce your spend
Better calculations result in a reduced amount of equipment needed . Saving you money!
Safety and assurance
All our EPM's are strictly designed to the British and European design codes: BS EN 13480-3
A holistic Approach
Merivale Design Group Ltd. uses computational stress analysis models when designing piping systems, utilizing the British and European code BS EN13480-3, checking, validating and providing modifications to achieve code compliance. There are many factors which can cause undue stress in pipework these include:
- Dead-weight of pipe, - insufficient supporting(Sag),
- Thermal EXP movement, - Seismic,
- Building movement - Settlement,
- Water hammer, - Wind loads and more.
An Engineered Pipe Model provides all the information required to ensure a safe and quality install including reports on:
Pipe Stress, complete list of supports including loads, end loads for plant and nozzle connections, movements at penetrations and fire stopping, Flange leakage analysis, spring support sizing.
