The use of strain gauge stress monitoring systems on ammonia refrigeration pipework affected by underground mining surface subsidence.

Author(s) : FRYER J. E.

Summary

The paper discusses why flexibility analysis should be carried out on ammonia refrigeration piping systems, compares the predicted stresses with actual measured stress at a number of piping locations, shows how remedial action reduced actual stresses and provides lessons learnt from strain gauge installation and monitoring at an industrial food processing facility.
