In manufacturing facilities of the petro-chemical, pharmaceutical, chemical, food, beverages and other processing industries use of piping is significant. Process piping is a form of pipe work used to transport materials used in industrial processes and manufacturing. It is specially designed for particular applications to ensure that it will meet health and safety standards, in addition to suiting the needs of a given manufacturing process. In this particular study, by using data like P & ID, a 2-D and isometric drawings of a steam piping system were prepared and designed by following codes and standards. Finite element analysis is performed in this study with the application of various loading cases to check sustainability of piping system in design service condition in stress analysis software called CAESAR II. The results of the study show that primary and secondary stresses were within the code allowable limits hence this system is safe. Nodal movements at corresponding nodes are also shown in displacement report.
