2 12 Proudly Manufactured in the U.S.A.

1. The Primary and Intermediate Guide Spacings shown are for standard weight pipe and are satisfactory for above ground or tunnel installation. They are applicable to the following:

A. Single Expansion Joints with an integral anchor or Single Expansion Joints installed immediately adjacent to a line anchor.

B. Double Expansion Joints.

2. When a single expansion joint without base is installed in the center (or approximate center) of a pipe run, the primary guide spacing should be modified as follows:

A. Sizes 1-1/2” to 4” inclusive: Six (6) pipe diameters from each end of the expansion joint.

B. Sizes 5” to 24” inclusive: Three (3) pipe diameters from each end of the expansion joint. To preclude the possibility of cocking the slip of, heavier expansion joints, (sizes 6” and larger), a sliding support under the expansion joint body is recommended.

3. For buried conduit systems with expansion joints installed in manholes or vaults, a guide should be installed at the termination of the conduit pipe at the manhole wall (e.g.,gland or link seal). In addition, consideration should be given to providing a “Moment” guide within 10 feet of the manhole wall (not to be integrally attached to the manhole wall). LOW FRICTION NON-METALLIC “BRONZALON®” GUIDE INSERTS SHOULD BE SPECIFIED FOR THE EXPANSION JOINT.

4. GUIDE/SUPPORT SELECTION:

PRIMARY GUIDES: The preferred designs are those that guide the pipe radially such as the ATS Models “GA”. For low profile systems the ATS Low Friction Figure 100, 101, and 101 M Series Graphite Guides can be used, (consult factory for applications).

INTERMEDIATE GUIDES: The ATS Low Friction Figure 100,101 and 101 M Graphite Guides are recommended to reduce friction forces and eliminate corrosion of the sliding components.

INTERMEDIATE SUPPORTS: The ATS Low Friction Figure 200, 201 and 201 M Graphite Supports are recommended to reduce friction forces and eliminate corrosion of the sliding components.

5. The pipe guiding and support spacing shown in Table 1 is the suggested maximum span as specified by the ASME/ANSI Power Piping Code B31.1, and is applicable for horizontal straight runs of pipe without concentrated loads such as valves or heavy fittings between supports. The span distance applies to standard weight or heavier pipe operating at a maximum temperature of 750°F (400°C).

6. LATERAL FORCES ON GUIDES:

Pipe Alignment Guides and their support structure may be subjected to lateral forces in addition to the frictional forces along the longitudinal axis of the pipe. It is recommended that alignment guides be designed to resist a lateral force equal to 250 lb./inch of nominal pipe size.

General Guidelines for Guiding & Supporting Pipe

7. THERMALLY INDUCED CHANGES OF PIPELINES:

Pipelines will always change in length as the temperature of the pipeline changes. This change must be accommodated by some method, either by natural flexibility of the pipeline or by use of an expansion device. Advanced Thermal Systems “TP2” Thermal Pak Expansion Joints are the ideal selection when long straight runs of pipe are involved.

Table 2 is used to determine the total change in length of the pipe run based upon the maximum and minimum temperatures of the system. The net change in length of the pipe run per 100 ft. of piping is the algebraic difference between the expansion constant at the highest temperature and the expansion constant at the lowest temperature. This difference is then multiplied by the total length of the pipe run divided by 100.

EXAMPLE:Determine the total change in length of a 250 feet long pipe run that is designed for 300 psig saturated steam (422° F) and is being installed outside where the ambient temperature may reach 20° F.

All piping systems must be divided into individual expanding segments by means of anchors which are attached to the piping and in turn to a support structure. Machinery and equipment, such as turbines and pumps are also considered anchors, since their bases are fixed and resist all forces and moments imposed upon them.

The installation of a slip type expansion joint, like any other axial motion type expansion joint, introduces forces which must be resisted by the anchors. Anchors can be categorized as either main or intermediate type, depending upon the forces they must withstand.

The main anchors must resist forces which involve the internal pressure of the system as well as frictional resistance of pipe supports and expansion joint packing. Intermediate anchors usually involve only the frictional forces of the system.

In the below table the various forces acting on a Main Anchor have been summarized and totaled. The anchor force at two system pressures are shown. The support friction, (Fs) is based on a mean coefficient of friction of 0.35. The use of Low Friction Graphite Guides

Table 8: Dimensions for Standard GA Guides

ABOVE TABLE SHOWS FMA AT TWO SEPARATE PRESSURES AND INCLUDES 15% SAFETY FACTOR FOR TRANSIENT LOADS.

Fma = 1.15 x (Fc + Fs + Fc)

and Supports, (i.e., ATS Figure 101 and 201) will reduce the value of (Fs) shown by 55%. The expansion joint packing friction, (Fc) is based on the value of 1000 lb./nominal inch of pipe diameter, a value used by ATS. The pressure thrust, (Fp), is the product of the thrust area times the system design. The value of (Fma) shown is the sum of all the forces that can act on a Main Anchor simultaneously.

Intermediate anchors which are located in straight runs of pipe are not subjected to pressure thrust. However, if an isolation valve is located in the run, one or both of the anchors on either side of the valve may become a main anchor depending on the location of expansion joints.

The forces shown are for axial loads only. There are many cases in which forces will impose moments on a main anchor and must be considered in the anchor design. Moments can be due to branch connections, placement of the anchor at some distance from a change in direction, or other external forces. It is essential in anchor design that all forces and moments be considered.

ATS Pre-Engineered Main Anchors

ATS pre-engineered factory manufactured anchors offer the assurance of knowing the anchor will be properly designed and fabricated to meet the application requirements. Designs are easily modified to accommodate various centerline heights and load requirements. ATS can supply the anchor either attached to a spool section with ends to match the mating pipe, or as a loose assembly for field attachment to the pipeline. Branch connections up to the size of the pipeline can be incorporated for simplified field installations. All branch connections are forged steel Weld-0-Lets

to ensure code compliance. In many instances due to high load forces and moments imposed on a main anchor, it is desirable to have the anchor base assembly attached to a spool section that has a heavier wall thickness than that of the main pipe run, a feature that can be easily accommodated in an ATS pre-engineered factory manufactured anchor. In cases when the spool has a heavier wall thickness than the mating pipe, the ends of the spool are machined and beveled for welding to match the mating pipe.

NOTES: 1. Anchor Components are fabricated from ASTM A36 and A 106

material. Pipe spool for Fig. 701 anchors is X-heavy ASTM A 106 Gr. B Seamless Pipe with ends beveled to match the mating pipe.

2. Anchors for higher load requirements or branch connections, located other than as shown, are specially designed to suit the application. ATS must be provided with load requirements and branch locations when required. Drawings for special anchors shall be furnished for approval.

3. Load ratings are based upon the use of heavy hex anchor bolting (furnished by others) equal to ASTM A-325 Tensile Requirements. Bolt diameters are 1/8” less than the drilled hole, Dimension “G” shown in Table 9.

4. Anchors constructed to the load ratings and dimensions shown in Table 9 are designated “STD” rating in the catalog number. Special anchors as described in Note 2 above, are designated “SPC” rating in the catalog number.
