FLEXIBILITY ANALYSIS
G0006 9 of 75
4.1.11 Locate and design all spring supports and specify spring tag number on the stress
isometric. Ensure the availability of steel to support the spring and add the spring
details in the Spring Log (See Appendix “F” for a typical Spring Log” sample).
4.1.12 Specify any reinforcement required at branch connections, (other than for
internal/external pressure considerations which are covered by the Piping Material
Specification), or at concentrated loading points. Branch connections other than 90
degrees are not addressed in ASME B31.3, Appendix “D”. In the absence of more
applicable data or analysis, “SIF” may be modelled by doubling the default “SIF”
values for unreinforced tees. Otherwise a rigorous analysis shall be performed to
obtain accurate “SIF”.
4.1.13 Check position of fixed and sliding supports of heat exchangers, horizontal drums,
etc.
4.1.14 Review Vendors’ Drawings for equipment nozzle loadings. Comment as necessary
and discuss with Equipment Engineer any special requirements (e.g. leaving heater
nozzles unrestrained so as to utilize the inherent flexibility of the tubes, etc.).
4.1.15 Ensure all information affecting other groups and/or Vendors is properly recorded
and promptly transmitted.
4.1.16 Prepare and file all calculations in accordance with specific project requirements as
applicable.
4.1.17 Investigate queries received from site giving advice and solutions as necessary.
4.1.18 When requested, check critical pipe supports and expansion joint installations at site
prior to mechanical completion to confirm that design requirements have been met.
5. GENERAL WORKING METHODS

5.1 The method of assessing pipe will come under one of three categories:
a. Computer.
In this case the piping system will be modelled and calculated using a piping stress
computer program. (Caesar II, or any other program approved / specified by the Client
on a project.)

b. Approximate.
In this case hand calculation techniques using monographs, charts, simplified
formulas, or simplified computer programs are used to prove the acceptability of the
system. They may also be approved by comparison with similar systems.
Simplified computer programs are hand calculator type programs that analyse simple
shapes using standard calculation methods (e.g. elastic centre method) and should be
checked and approved before use.
c. Visual.
In this case simple techniques of approximate “guided cantilever” type or by
background knowledge/experience are used to approve the system with minimal
calculations.
5.2 The approval method is ultimately the responsibility of the individual Stress Engineer.
The basic split of calculation types is as follows: (Project specific criteria should be
used)
a. Computer Calculations:
1. All lines with design temperature over 425oC (800oF).
2. Process, regeneration, and decoking lines to and from all fired heaters and
steam generators.
3. Process lines to and from all compressors and all blowers.
4. All NPS 80 mm and larger lines connected to other rotating equipment.
5. Main process and regeneration lines to and from reactors.
6. All lines that contain expansion joints.
7. All lines with internal refractory lining.
8. All lines NPS 100 mm and larger connected to air-cooled heat exchangers
9. All lines NPS 150 mm and larger with a design temperature of 200oC or more.

b. Approximate:
1. All lines NPS 500 mm and larger, regardless of design temperature.
2. All lines NPS 300 mm and larger connected to storage tanks.
3. Lines subjected to mixed phase flow.
4. NPS 75 mm (3”) and larger lines subject to significant differential settlement of
tanks, vessels, equipment, or supports.
5. All relief systems whether closed or relieving to atmosphere with consideration
for attached or detached tail pipes. Analysis shall include:
• The discharge reaction caused by relief.
• Piping flexibility for thermal expansion during hot relief or contraction during
cold relief.
• Dynamic loads from worst possible flow conditions.
6. All cryogenic lines below -46oC (-50oF).
7. NPS 75 mm (3”) and larger lines subject to external pressure by vacuum or
jacketing).
8. All lines to vessel that cannot be disconnected for purging, steamout, etc.
9. All non-metallic process lines.
10. All large diameter thin walled lines shall be analysed to determine whether local
reinforcement (saddle) is necessary at support points.
c. Visual:
NPS 50 mm (2”) and smaller and large bore non-critical lines not considered in a. and
b.
5.3 For all calculations, the combination of conditions that could theoretically occur so as
to produce the maximum stress and equipment loading should be considered. This
consideration should include but not be restricted to the following areas (See also
Paragraph 8.4)
a. Thermal expansion due to:
• Design, Stressmax or Stressmin Temperatures
