span.

Vertical loads of flare pipes shall be taken as one-third full of water for Process Unit
piping and one-sixth full for Off site piping.

1.25m/1.5m/2.0m shall be considered on all tiers irrespective of height between two
tiers of rack widths of 4m/6m/8m and 10m respectively. For piperacks of widths
greater than 10m, the above projected height shall be taken as 0.8[diameter of
largest pipe including insulation (m)] + tan 10°[width of rack (m)]. However, this shall
not exceed the height between consecutive tiers.

c) For flare header or any other line supported on extended leg of piperack, the wind
force shall be considered separately.

Fillers shall be applied to prevent the excessive penetration of the finish to

the surface for obtaining a smooth finish. Fillers shall be conforming to IS:
345. Fillers shall be heavily applied to the wood surface by hand, using
hessian or jute rag across the grain. It shall be rubbed when still wet to get
better penetration. After 5-10 minutes it shall be wiped off by hand across
the grain followed by a light wipe with the grain. The filled surface shall be
dried preferably over night and smoothened with abrasive paper.
(b) Staining
i) Spirit Stains
Spirit stains are solutions of spirit soluble dyes in Industrial
methylated spirit.
ii) Oil Stains
Oil stains are solutions of oil soluble dyes in linseed oil, but,
usually consist of insoluble, semi-transparent pigments ground
in linseed oil and thinned with turpentine or other solvent.
iii) Preparation of Wood for Staining
Surface intended for staining shall be kept scrupulously clean and
free from greasy finger marks. It shall be prepared by careful
smoothing with fine abrasive paper used in the direction of the
grain. Small cracks/ nail holes shall be stopped with plastic wood/
fine plaster of paris. The stopping shall be rubbed down with fine
abrasive paper when hard and touched with a thinned knotting
before staining. In case of oil staining stopping shall be done after
staining using tinted putty or wood filler.
iv) Application of Stains
Stains shall be applied by brushing and wiping or by spraying. The
stain shall be so thinned that it can be applied fairly, liberally
without over staining and over lapping.
(c) Sealing
A suitable sealer shall be applied on the filled and sanded surface to
prevent absorption by the wood of the succeeding coats of finish and to
seal stain and filler and thus preclude their bleeding into the finish coat.
Sealer may be sprayed on taking care not to flood the surface and it shall
be allowed to dry hard. When fully dry the surface shall be sanded taking
care not to cut through at corners and edges. Dust shall be blown off and
surface wiped with a clean rag.

(d) Finishing
The stained surface shall be varnished, wax-polished or french polished as
required after it is dried.
i) Varnishing
Varnishing of wood and wood based material shall be in
accordance with IS: 2338 (Part-I).
Surfaces to be varnished shall be prepared to produce a smooth,
dry and matt surface and all dust and dirt shall be removed from

1.0 SCOPE

The scope of this document is to specify the wind pressure to be considered for
calculation of wind load on piping systems. The scope does not specify any method
for wind load analysis of piping.

The effect of wind on a piping system is to produce a set of vibratory/dynamic loads

acting along different directions depending on the configuration of the piping.
However, the design wind load for a piping system is often calculated on the basis of
a statically applied maximum pressure(s) that can be expected over the design life of
the unit.

2.0 GENERAL NOTES

The wind load analysis shall be done for the following piping systems.

(i) Flare Header.

(ii) Any other line of size 20” (O.D.) & above (including insulation, if any) running
above 10 meter height from HPP level.

However, all piping systems should have a sufficient number of horizontal

restraints/guides to resist the design wind load to be calculated as per the formula
indicated in section 3 of this document and to reduce excessive horizontal deflection
of pipe due to wind load.

A manual check may be performed to estimate the approximate wind effect on pipe
where the wind analysis is not required. However, In this case also, the horizontal
restraints should be adequate to resist the wind effect.

3.0 DESIGN WIND LOAD

The design wind load on a pipe shall be calculated from the following relation:

Fwz = Cf pz Do

Where Fwz = Wind load at height z per unit length of pipe

Cf = Shape factor (to be considered as 0.7)
Do = External diameter of pipe including the insulation
pz = Design wind pressure on pipe at height z which can be obtained from
the following table.

Height (in 'm') of

≤ 10 15 20 30 50 100
pipe above ground
Design wind
1026 1131 1174 1287 1404 1577
pressure (in 'N/m2')

Note: wind pressure for any intermediate height may be linearly interpolated.

4.0 LOAD COMBINATIONS

All supports should be adequate for the following load combinations due to wind load
alone in addition to other load conditions considered for the design of piping:

(i) Sustained load + Wind Load

(ii) Sustained load + Thermal load + Wind Load

However, the stress in the piping should be checked only for the first load case (i.e.,
Sustained load + Wind Load) and the maximum stress in the pipe should be limited to
1.33 times the allowable stress at the maximum operating temperature.
