ResumoThe paper describes an example of the B-tower of the Shinar Petrochemical Company which has six horizontal pipelines near the top of the tower that distribute flow. Each pipeline is supported by a constant effort spring to accommodate thermal expansion. The piping flexibility analysis program used to calculate stress on the pipelines recommended major modifications to the tower. The paper explains how the computer program was led astray.
