4/21/12Introduction to piping stressanalysis
Pipes are the most delicate components in any processplant.
It is very important to take note of all potential loads that apiping system would encounter during operation as well asduring other stages in the life cycle of a process plant.
Ignoring any such load while designing, erecting, hydro-testing, start-up shut-down, normal operation, maintenanceetc. can lead to inadequate design and engineering of
a piping system.
Stress analysis and safe design normally requireappreciation of several related concepts.

4/21/12Steps of piping system design An approximate list of the steps that would be involved is as
follows:
1. Identify potential loads.
2. Relate each one of these loads to the stresses and strains.
3. Decide the worst three dimensional stress state .
4. Get the cumulative effect of all the potential, loads on
the 3-D stress scenario in the piping system underconsideration.
5. Alter piping system design to ensure that the stress
pattern is within failure limits.

4/21/12Stress analysis techniques The analysis of stresses may be carried to varying degrees
of refinement.
Manual systems allow for the analysis of simple systems.
There are methods like chart solutions (for three-dimensional
routings) and rules of thumb (for number and placement ofsupports) etc. involving long and tedious computations andhigh expense.
All such methods may be classified as follows:
1.Approximate methods dealing only with special piping
configurations of two-three or four-member systems .
The approximate methods falling into this category are
limited in scope of direct application.

4/21/12Stress analysis techniques
2. Methods restricted to square-corner, single-plane systems
with two fixed ends, but without limit as to the number of
members.
3. Methods adaptable to space configurations with square
corners and two fixed ends.
4. Extensions of the previous methods to provide for
the special properties of curved pipe by indirect means,
usually a virtual length correction factor.

4/21/12Classification of loads andfailure modesClassification of loads:
A. Primary Loads.
B. Secondary Loads.
Classification of failure modes:
A. sudden failure due to onetime loading(attribute to primary
loading) B. fatigue failure due to cyclic loading(attribute to secondary
loading)

9/81
4/21/12Primary Loads
These are typically steady or sustained types of loads.
Primary loads are usually force driven.
Primary loads are not self-limiting.
Allowable limits of primary stresses are related to ultimatetensile strength.
Design requirements due to primary loads are encompassedin minimum wall thickness requirements (In codes).
-
8/4/2019 Pipelines stress analysis Report Slides
10/81
4/21/12Secondary Loads Secondary loads are usually displacement driven.
Secondary loads are self-limiting.
Allowable loads for secondary stresses are based uponfatigue failure modes.
Secondary loads are cyclic in nature (expect settlement).
Secondary application of load never produces sudden failureand sudden failure occurs after a number of applications ofload.

4/21/12Static vs. Dynamic loads
Static loads are those loads applied on to the piping systemso slowly that the system has time to respond, react and alsoto disturb the load. Hence, the system remains in equilibrium.
The dynamic load changes so quickly with time that thesystem will have no time to distribute the load. Hence the
system develops unbalanced forces.

4/21/12Types of dynamic loading
1. Random: here the load changes unpredictably with time.
The major loads covered under this type are :-
(a) Wind load.
(b) Earthquake.
2. Harmonic: here the load changes in magnitude and
direction in a sine profile. The major loads
covered under this are:-
(a) Equipment Vibration.
(b) Acoustic Vibration.
3. Pulsation: This type of loading occurs due to flow from
reci rocatin um s, com ressors etc.

4/21/12Types of stresses acting on apipe
When calculate stresses, we choose a set of orthogonaldirections and define the stresses in this co-ordinate system.
Types of loads according to their direction are axial ,
circumferential (Hoops direction) and radial

4/21/12Principal stresses The mechanics of solids state that it would also be
orientation which minimizes some other normal stress.
Normal stresses for such orientation (maximum normalstress orientation) are called principal stresses, and aredesignated S1 (maximum), S2 and S3 (minimum).
Solid mechanics also states that the sum of the three normalstresses for all orientation is always the same for any givenexternal load.

4/21/12Principal stresses In addition to the normal stresses, a grain can be subjected
to shear stresses as well.
The maximum shear stress in a 3-D state of stress can beshown to be
Use of Mohr's circle then allows calculating the two principle
stresses and maximum shear stress as follows:

4/21/12Design under Secondary Load A pipe designed to withstand primary loads and to avoid
catastrophic failure may fall after a sufficient amount of timedue to secondary cyclic load causing, fatigue failure.
The secondary loads are often cyclic in nature. The numberof cycles to failure is a property of the material ofconstruction just as yield stress is.
This number of cycles to failure is the corresponding material
property important in design under cyclic loads aim atensuring that the failure does not take place within a certainperiod for which the system is to be designed.

4/21/12Design under Secondary Load Fatigue test is carried out on a specimen subjected to cycles
of uni-axial tensile and compressive loads of certainamplitude. The specimen is subjected to a graduallyincreasing load leading to a maximum tensile load of W, thenthe load is removed gradually till it passes through zero andbecomes gradually a compressive load of W (i.e. a load of
W), then a tensile load of W and so on. Time averaged loadis thus zero.
The cycles to failure are then measured; the experiments are
repeated with different amplitudes of load.

4/21/12ASME 31.1 Flexibilityanalysis To study the system behavior when its temperature changes
from ambient to operating point, so as to arrive at the mosteconomical layout with adequate safety.
The considerations that decide the minimum acceptableflexibility on a piping configuration:
1. The maximum allowable stress range in the system.
2. The limiting values of forces and moments that the pipingsystem is permitted to impose on the equipment to which it is
connected.
3. The displacements within the piping system.
4. The maximum allowable load on the supporting structure.

4/21/12ASME 31.1 Testing
Pressure Test: After a pipe system is installed in the field, it isusually pressure tested to ensure that there are no leaks.Once a system is in operation, it is difficult, if not impossible,to repair leaks.
Hydrostatic Testing: It is important to provide high point ventsand low point drains in all piping systems to be hydrotested.The high point vents are to permit the venting of air, which iftrapped during the hydrotest may result in fluctuatingpressure levels during the test period. The drains are to allowthe piping to be emptied of the test medium prior to fillingwith the operating fluid.
pneumatic test: A preliminary pneumatic test is often applied,holding the test pressure at 25 psig to locate leaks prior totesting at the test pressure. The test pressure for pneumatictests is to be at least 1.2 but not more than 1.5 times thedesign pressure.

The term process piping is generally considered to be the pipingthat one may find in chemical plants, refineries, paper mills, andother manufacturing plants.
The ASME 31.3 code is arranged as 31.1 chapters and paragraphsbut here the paragraph has number 300 instead of 100
Scope
The scope of this code includes all fluids. This scope specificallyexcludes the following:
Piping with an internal design pressure between 0 and 15 psi(105 kPa)
Tubes inside fired heaters
Pressure vessels, heat exchangers, pumps, or compressors.

4/21/12ASME 31.3 cont.
Design criterionThe difference between ASME 31.1 and 31.3 that 31.1 is focused
more on steel pipe and fittings, while 31.3 pertains more tononmetallic pipe and fittings. The obvious reason is that processpiping deals with more fluids that are corrosive to steel. In manycases, thermoplastics, thermosetting plastics, and resins will be moreappropriate materials for the fluids handled in the purview of theprocess piping code.
Fluid Categories:
D fluids : nonflammable, nontoxic, and not damaging to human tissue.design pressure does not exceed 150 psig (1035 kPa) & design
temperature is between -20F and 366F (-29C and 186C).
M fluids : a single exposure to a very small quantity could lead to seriousirreversible harm
High pressure fluid : higher than allowed in ASME B16.5 PN420
All fluids not listed in the above categories

ASME 31.3 specify branching specifications for each fluidcategory defining some parameters and requirements
The run pipe diameter-to-thickness ratio (Dh/Th) < 100
the branch-to-run diameter ratio (Db/Dh) is not greater than 1.0.
If Dh/Th >= 100, the branch diameter Db has to be less than one-half the run diameter Dh.
The angle between the branch and run is at least 45.

4/21/12ASME 31.3 Testing
Leak test: all piping designed in accordance with B31.3 beleak tested according to fluid category the test steps isspecified.
Hydrostatic test: As in ASME 31.1 pneumatic leak test: Due to the possibility of brittle fracture of
nonmetallic piping which may be found in systems under thescope of B31.3 the test requires a pressure relief devicehaving a set pressure of the test pressure plus the smaller of50 psi or 10 percent of the test pressure.
Because chemical piping can involve core complicatedequipment and piping designs, there may be additional
factors to be considered in a pressure test. Because there may be elevated temperatures, the code
includes a provision for establishing a more appropriate testpressure.

4/21/12Types of supports
There are six main types of supports:1. Rigid or weight supports & hangers.
2. Variable effort supports & hangers.
3. Constant effort supports.
4. Spring loaded sway braces.
5. Dynamic restraints.
6. Snubbers & shock absorbers.

Rigid Hangers are normally used at suspension points whereno vertical movement occurs and the only considerations arethe Load at the point of support, line temperature, PipeMaterial of construction, and insulation thickness.
Rigid supports support the Pipe line from the bottom and
usually rest on the floor, pipe rack or structure. Pipe linesubjected to horizontal expansions only may be supported byPipe roller guides and when both X & Z directionmovement takes place pipe lines are supported by pipeshoes with low friction slide bearings beneath them.

4/21/12 Variable effort supports also known as variable hangers or
variables are used to support pipe lines subjected tomoderate (approximately up to 50mm) vertical thermalmovements.
Variable effort supports are used to support the weight ofpipe work or equipments along with weight of fluids (gasesare considered weightless) while allowing certain quantum ofmovement with respect to the structure supporting it.
Spring supports may also be used to support lines subject torelative movements occurring typically due to subsidence orearthquakes.
Variable effort supports &hangers

4/21/12
In a constant effort support the loadremains constant when the pipe movesfrom its cold position to the hot position.Thus irrespective of travel the loadremains constant over the completerange of movement.
When confronted with large verticalmovements typically 150 mm or 250 mm,there is no choice but to select a constanteffort support (CES).
For pipes which are critical to theperformance of the system or so calledcritical piping where no residual stressesare to be transferred to the pipe it is acommon practice to use CESs.

4/21/12Sway braces They are spring loaded units
mounted on pipe work to limit theswaying or vibration induced byexternal forces by applying anopposing force on the pipe.
Dynamic restraints
A restraint is a device that preventseither the pipe work or the plant towhich the pipe work is connectedbeing damaged due to theoccurrence of Earthquakes, Fluiddisturbances and otherenvironmental influences
It is designed to absorb and transfersudden increases in load from thepipe into the building structure and todeaden any opposing oscillationbetween the pipe and the structure.

4/21/12Snubbers and shock absorbers A fluid passes through a spring-
loaded valve, the spring beingused to hold the valve open. If thedifferential pressure across thevalve exceeds the effectivepressure exerted by the spring, thevalve will close. This causes the
snubber to become rigid andfurther displacement issubstantially prevented.
Ancillary items
Ancillaries are the hardware thatcomplement supports and allowthe connection of the pipe to thebuilding structure, sometimes assimple as a pipe shoe orcomprised of many items from a
beam clamp through hanger rods,spreader beams and pipe clamps.

This is the variation in load or stress imposed on the pipework system when moving from the cold condition to the hotcondition. This is usually expressed as a percentage of thehot load.
As the pipe is suspended or supported directly on a springany thermal movement of pipe line will force the support toexpand or compress causing either a decrease or increase inload.

4/21/12Buried Pipe Design
Underground conduits have served to improve peoplesstandard of living since the dawn of civilization. . Remnants
of such structures from ancient civilizations have been found
in Europe, Asia, and even the western hemisphere.
Today, underground conduits serve in diverse applications
such as sewer lines, drain lines, water mains, gas lines,
telephone and electrical conduits, culverts, oil lines, coal
slurry lines, subway tunnels, and heat distribution lines.
It is true we must build down before we can build up..

4/21/12Soil Mechanics
Various parameters must be considered in the design of a buriedpiping system. soil type, soil density, moisture content, anddepth of the installation are commonly considered. If finiteelement analysis is used, many soil characteristics are requiredas input to the mathematical soil model.
the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS) is most commonlyused in the construction industry.
Soil stiffness (modulus) is an extremely important soil propertyand is the main contributor to the pipe-soil system performance.Experience has shown that a high soil density will ensure high.soil stiffness. Therefore, soil density is usually given specialimportance in piping system design.

4/21/12Materials used in buriedpipes
There are many types of piping materials on the market today
ranging from rigid concrete to flexible thermal plastic. Such
things as inherent strength, stiffness, corrosion resistance,
lightness, flexibility, and ease of joining are some characteristics
that are often given as reasons for using a particular material.
A pipe must have enough strength and/or stiffness to perform its
intended function. It must also be durable enough to last for its
design life.
Piping materials are generally placed in one of two
classifications: rigid or flexible. A flexible pipe has been defined
as one that will deflect at least 2 percent without structural
distress.

4/21/12Rigid pipes Vs Flexible pipes
For rigid pipes, strength to resist wall stresses due to the combinedeffects of internal pressure and external load is usually critical.
For flexible pipes, stiffness may be important in resisting ringdeflection and possible buckling
For a thermal plastic pipe, such as PVC pipe, strength is measured
in terms of a long-term hydrostatic design hoop stress.

4/21/12Pipe Hydraulics
The field of study of fluid flow in pipes is often referred to ashydraulics.
Flow in pipes is usually classified as pressure flow for systems
where pipes are flowing full or open-channel flow when pipes
are not flowing full. Water systems are pressure systems and
are considered to be flowing full.
On the other hand, sewer systems, for the most part, are open-
channel systems.
The relatively small concentration of solids is not sufficient, Thus
sewage is accepted to have the same hydraulic flowcharacteristics as water.
For pressure flow, the Hazen-Williams equation is widely
accepted.

4/21/12Water Systems
Water systems are lifelines of communities. They consist of suchitems as valves, fittings, thrust restraints, pumps, reservoirs,and, of course, pipes and other miscellaneous appurtenances
The water system is sometimes divided into two parts: thetransmission lines and the distribution system.
The design of distribution piping system is somewhat similar tothat of transmission lines except that a substantial surgeallowance for possible water hammer is included in the pressuredesign.
The hydraulic analysis of such a system is almost impossible by
hand methods, but is readily accomplished using programmingmethods via digital computers.

4/21/12Buried Pipe Design
The piping system must be strong enough to withstand inducedstresses, have relatively smooth walls, have a tight joiningsystem, and be somewhat chemically inert with respect to soiland water.
The normal design life for such systems should be 50 yearsminimum. However, 50 years is not long enough. Government
and private agencies cannot afford to replace all the buried pipeinfrastructures on a 50-year basis.100 year is better.
For engineers, economics is always an important consideration;any economic evaluation must include more than just initial cost.Annual maintenance and life of the system must also be
considered.
The question is not whether the pipe will last, but how long itwill perform its designed function.

Not all pipes are installed in ditches (trenches); therefore, it isnecessary to treat the problem of pipes buried in
embankments.
An embankment is where the top of the pipe is above thenatural ground.

Tunnel construction.Marstons theory may be used to determine soil loads onpipes that are in tunnels or that are jacked into place throughundisturbed soil. The Marston tunnel load equation is
C is very important in determining the load. Unfortunately,values of the coefficient C have a wide range of variationeven for similar soils.

b) Flexible pipe
* A flexible pipe derives its soil-load-carrying capacityfrom its flexibility. Under soil load, the pipe tends to deflect,thereby developing passive Soil support at the sides of the
pipe.* The effective strength of the flexible pipe-soil system isremarkably high

Measurements revealed that the load on a flexible pipe issubstantially less than that on a rigid pipe.The magnitude of this difference in loads may be a littleshocking.
Suppose a weight is placed on a spring. We realize thespring will deform, resisting deflection because of its springstiffness.When load versus deflection is plotted, we find that thisrelationship is linear up to the elastic limit of the spring

deflects and resists deflection because of its stiffness. It iseven possible to think of soil as being a nonlinear spring thatresists movement or deflection because of its stiffness.

we can easily visualize the soil deforming and the pipecarrying the majority of the load.If the situation is reversed, placing a flexible spring betweentwo springs(soil), we can picture the pipe deflecting and thesoil is being forced to carry the load to a greater extent.

The reduction in load imposed on a pipe because of itsflexibility is referred to as arching. However, the overallperformance is not just due to arching, but is also due to thesoil at the sides of the pipe resisting deflection

For a flexible pipe, the maximum load is always much toolarge. The mini is the same.The actual load will lie somewhere between these limits.
