Piping Engineering Services in Malaysia
Softstra’s piping engineering services cover the full lifecycle of a piping system — from front-end design data validation, through detailed CAESAR II stress analysis, failure and integrity assessment on operating plants, to dynamic, seismic, and thermal expansion studies. Every deliverable is built to ASME B31.3 or B31.1.
- Service catalogue
Our Four Service Lines
CAESAR II Piping Stress Analysis
Complete stress analysis coverage — design data validation, critical-line analysis in CAESAR II, non-critical line manual calculation, and WHRU / fired heater manifold-tubesheet calculation. The largest of our service lines and the starting point for most engagements.
- CAESAR II
- ASME B31.3
- B31.1
- Manifold-tubesheet
Failure & Integrity Assessment
Evaluation of operating piping systems — flange leakage, overstress identification, equipment nozzle load evaluation, and support & restraint review. Code-cited findings with recommended remediation.
- Flange leakage
- Overstress
- Nozzle load
- Support review
Dynamic & Seismic Analysis
Dynamic load cases inside the CAESAR II model — seismic per local codes, compressor pulsation, steam hammer, relief valve reaction, and equipment-induced vibration.
- Seismic
- Pulsation
- Steam hammer
- API 618
Thermal Expansion Analysis
Expansion stress range, flexibility design (loops, offsets, expansion joints), and displacement evaluation at equipment connections for hot and cryogenic piping.
- Expansion loops
- Spring hangers
- Cryogenic
- Displacement
- Inputs we need
What We Need To Start An Analysis
Clear, validated inputs reduce rework and shorten project timelines. Where any input is missing, we open the engagement with design data validation rather than push modelling forward on incomplete inputs.
- P&ID drawings (native CAD or clean PDF)
- Piping isometric drawings
- Line list with design and operating conditions
- Material specification and piping class
- Equipment data sheets — nozzle orientations, allowable loads
- Vendor allowable nozzle loads where available
- Support standard or preferred hardware catalogue
- Seismic and wind design basis (where applicable)
- Standards
