: Yield strength at ambient temperature

Slp

: Longitudinal stress due to internal pressure

SB

: Nominal bending stress in straight pipe

St

: Longitudinal stress due to thermal expansion

SE + SL < Syield

(OPE)

SL = Slp+SB < 0.75 Sy

The number and location of supports have been chosen to satisfy static free span
requirement. Fix type and guide of support attached to the piping system is
chosen to compensate elongation due to combined load both of design,
operating and test condition.

STRESS ANALYSIS REPORT

Toward to the pipeline, after the pig launcher area, before and after the LBCV at Kp.
16+000 & Kp. 32+000, and before the pig receiver, the pipes are buried to the ground.
Due to temperature changes and pressure, buried pipe deforms laterally in areas
immidiately adjacent to changes in directions (bends). In areas far from bends, the
deformation is primarily axial.
Stress analysis of the piping has been carried out using a non linear computer program
Caesar II Version 4.2. The pipeline has been modeled from pipeline anchor block area
between buried pipe and above ground pipeline (at surface of the ground). Both the ends
of above ground pipeline are anchored. Initially the number and the location of supports
were chosen to satisfy the free span requirement. Environmental loads are ignored for
static stress analysis.
Stress analysis is performed for different load cases defined in section 7.0 and found that
the system stresses are within the allowable limit as per ASME B 31.8. The result
summary of stresses has been presented in Table 9.1.1. until Table 9.3.2. Computer plot
and the stress isometric have been presented in Attachment-1.
