This week, Piping Technology hosted a meeting at a local Indian restaurant in Houston for the Houston Caesar II User Group and SPED members.  While attendees enjoyed a delectable Indian meal, we presented a technical overview on pipe support engineering and design featuring a variety of products including variable springs, pipe clamps, and pre-insulated supports. The presentation also featured various design tools including finite element analysis, 3D modeling, and STAAD analysis.
