Piping Flexibility and Limitation of Thermal Stress in Pipework

1.0 Introduction Designing refrigeration piping so that the arrangement is “flexible” reduces stresses due to mechanical and thermal movement. The mechanical loads on pipework due to its weight and contents are minimised by limiting the spans between each support as specified in Star Standard Specification No. 69. The purpose of this standard specification is to limit the loads on Star pipework and equipment nozzles due to thermal expansion and contraction caused by variations between the installation temperature and the working temperatures. The specification has been revised to include higher design pressure pipework and larger temperature differentials.

2.0 Thermal Stress Analysis

Star Standard Specification No. 36 gives details of our standard method of pipe bracketing where the pipe and insulation (where applied) is mounted on sliding supports. The use of sliding supports allows the pipe to expand and contract freely without imposing additional strains. Figure 1 shows a simple piping arrangement for pipe AC with a right angled bend at B and the ends A and C fixed. Figure 2 shows a simple piping arrangement for pipe AC with a right angled bend at B, a valve between B and C and the ends A and C fixed. Figure 3 shows a simple piping arrangement for pipe AC with bend, a tee added before the bend and the ends A and C fixed. Any temperature variation causing a change in length of AB gives a deflection as shown with induced stresses at nodes C and B. The change in length AB for a given temperature variation for both carbon steel pipe (e.g. A106 Gr B and A333 Gr 6) and stainless steel pipe (e.g. 304, 304L, 316 and 316L) and for the various arrangements is given in Tables 1 to 51. The temperature change refers to the difference in temperature between the installation temperature and the working temperature. Tables 1 to 8 cover the case of 25.5 Bar G design pressure pipe, bend and valve as shown in Figure 2. Note the arrangement shown in Figure 1 is a simpler case to that shown in Figure 2 and is covered by Tables 1 to 8. Tables 9 to 16 cover the case of 25.5 Bar G design pressure where we have a tee before the bend as shown in Figure 3. A separate set of tables are shown for the tee arrangement in recognition of the additional restriction to bending in the header length associated with the header extending beyond the tee. All lengths are for the tee branch run and the header length up to the tee. In all cases the minimum straight length required in the perpendicular leg BC needed to maintain stress levels at B and C to within acceptable limits is also given. In the case of pipe, bend and valve, the valve runs are total straight pipe length required (excluding valve length) on that run of pipe, irrespective of valve position.

The tables give worst case minimum allowable distances. They are based on constrained pipework at either end. Our practice of utilising sliding brackets throughout will further limit the stress. The conservative design is reinforced by our use of materials which show a comparatively high ultimate tensile strength relative to their yield strength (to which the ASME B31.3 codes stress levels refer). For example:

Material ASTM Ultimate Tensile

Strength N/mm2

Yield Strength

N/mm2

Design Allowable Strength N/mm2

A106B and A333 Gr 6 414 241 138

304L 480 172 115

316L 480 172 115 Special consideration is needed for reverse cycle defrost lines. While practical experience (with no known pipe failure over 30 years) suggests that our piping designs are adequate, as an additional factor of safety, reverse cycle plant wet return pipe designs shall include for two times the minimum required length given in the tables. If there is any doubt about the applicability of the tables please refer to the Technical Department who can make special consideration of the particular design and can call on outside support from consultants with access to stress calculation software for complex systems. Special consideration has been given to vessel nozzle loadings. Tables 17 to 24 give the target required perpendicular lengths for BC in a 25.5 Bar G system where C is at a pressure vessel nozzle connection as shown in Figure 4. For tables 17 to 24, the run lengths provided are target lengths required to achieve adequately low nozzle loads with stress levels no greater than those allowed by ASME B31.3. As a guide we should aim for ±10% of the target length otherwise we should consider an expansion loop or introduce additional bends. Note that these tables for pressure vessel nozzle connections are only applicable if point A is fixed and are not applicable when point A is not fully constrained. Point C is also assumed to be fixed. In practice any degree of flexibility will add to the conservatism of the design. In some cases we may chose to introduce an expansion loop or include at least two pipe bends between the nozzle (or valve on the nozzle) and the plantroom wall. For example we can introduce additional flexibility by simply pointing the valve on the nozzle in a different direction before bending the pipe to return to the desired directions. Pipe arrangements that require greater thought and design considerations are clearly identified in the tables. In many arrangements the introduction of additional bends providing they are free of restraint can be a benefit. Tables 25 to 32 cover the case of Sch 40 pipe at 52 Bar G design pressure with Pipe and Bend. Tables 33 to 36 cover the case of Sch 40 pipes at 52 Bar G design pressure where C is at a pressure vessel nozzle connection. Tables 37 to 41 cover the case of Sch 40 pipes at 65 Bar G design pressure with pipe, bend and valve. Tables 42 to 46 cover the case of Sch 40 pipes at 65 Bar G design pressure with pipe, bend and tee. Tables 47 to 51 cover the case of Sch 40 pipes at 65 Bar G design pressure where C is at a pressure vessel nozzle connection.

Where the design includes piping with thinner wall thicknesses to those indicated in the tables, the tables will give conservative values. In specific piping flexibility checks where there are comparatively short changes of direction at positions away from the supports it is often convenient to analyse the piping system with the piping at these points assumed to be rigid and not requiring individual assessments. For these cases the short changes in direction can be ignored. The support of vertical runs of pipe (over 5 metres long) shall be given special consideration to ensure that the weight of pipe and contents are evenly distributed across the adjacent support brackets. The use of variable spring supports and hinges may be used to balance the gravitational load of vertical sections of pipe while allowing for thermal movement.

2.1 Ideas Report The tables are taken from Ideas Report No’s. 2004/026/1 and 2012/019/001.

2.1.1 The work involved pipework analysis to ASME B31.3 piping code (2002 edition) and comparison of vessel nozzle loads to Industry Standard allowable limits (see Tables 52 and 53).

2.1.2 The Static Analysis work required analysis for standard operating condition loads, i.e. weight,

pressure and temperature ranges of 40K, 60K, 80K, 100K and 120K. Pressures of –1 Bar G, 25.5 Bar G, 52 Bar G and 65 Bar G have been used to encompass the majority of static pressure scenarios. The effects of environmental loads were not considered. Sources of dynamic load were not considered. The effects of attached systems, thermal growths at nozzles, stress reduction factors for longitudinal seam welds, etc were not considered. Major assumptions are detailed in section 2.1.5.

2.1.3 The pipe stress package used was the fully validated CAESAR II Finite Element Package. 2.1.4 The force displacement relations for each structural member are considered linear, with CAESAR II

adding displacements. Displacements must be small enough to be added without affecting the accuracy of the analysis and calculations. CAESAR II linearises all non-linearities such as supports with gaps and friction. CAESAR II does not have material non-linear capabilities and as such calculates all stress levels as linear elastic. It is standard practice, where applicable, to ensure all primary stresses remain below material yield. With these parameters in mind, the piping systems were modelled with the following boundary conditions. Referring to Figures 1 to 4, Nodes A and C are taken rigidly fixed i.e. anchored. Any effects of attached pipework have been ignored in this study as it has been assumed that any attached pipework has minimal load/stress implications on the results and that the combination of a rigidly anchored termination point and a factor of safety in the stress levels gives a conservative design.

2.1.5 Assumptions 2.1.5.1 Valves

Valves are modelled as rigid elements with their weights added to the model. Valves are treated as rigid elements. All valves are butt welded.

Standard Specification No. 148

L:\Standard Specifications\SS148.C.Piping Flexibility & Limitation of Thermal Stress in Pipework.doc Page 4 of 28

2.1.5.2 General Assumptions & Omissions from Analysis

- Material is isotropic and homogeneous. - Small strain linear elastic theory applied. - All butt welds are carried out in accordance with ASME B31.3, therefore residual

strains are not considered. - Residual strains due to branch welds are not considered. - Supporting structures do not deflect. - Vessel nozzles do not deflect. - Attached pipework beyond that modelled is sufficiently flexible to not induce

excessive movements or loads on the pipework being considered. - For the tee models, the tee component is assessed as a forged, butt welded fitting. - The number of Operating Cycles in the life of the plant is less than 1 per day for 20

years. - No environmental loads applied. - No excessive movements/loads on valve bodies. - No dynamic loads - Fatigue aspects not considered. - Static coefficient of friction, µ = 0.3 unless otherwise specified - No sources of resonance in piping systems. - Buckling concerns due to the negative internal pressure are not considered. Sound

engineering practise with regard to this aspect of piping system layout and design is assumed.

- Corrosion allowance taken to be 0 mm. - Mill tolerance of ±12.5%. - Springs are not used to reduced nozzle loads. - Effects of reducers and reducing tees not included. - Effect of insulation is negligible. - Fluid density up to and including 1.1 SG. - Mass effect of different types of valve is negligible, modelled for effect of rigidity

rather than mass. - Effects of stress raisers and welded attachments are not included. - Transportation and lift loads are not considered. - The pipe support design follows the guidelines set out in Star SS 69 which gives

maximum permitted support spans. U bolt supports shall not be fitted within five pipe diameters to a bend.

2.1.6 Analysis Code & Load Cases 2.1.6.1 Analysis Code is ASME B31.3 Piping Code 2002 Ed

Full details of the load cases and stress calculations together with the allowable limits for analysis guidance rules and validation checks are given in the Ideas Report.

3.0 Guidelines for the Selection of Critical Lines

A pipeline is defined as critical and requiring checks against the tables in this standard specification if it falls into any of the following categories (categories have been defined with reference to piping design guide NORSOK Standard L-002 where applicable to refrigeration and heat pump systems):

(a) Any carbon or stainless steel line 150NB and above if it is working at 40K or more

from its installation temperature or 80NB and above if it is working at 60K or more from its installation temperature. The following are considered to have sufficient inherent flexibility:

• 65NB and below when the temperature is <60K from the installation temperature

• 125NB and below when the temperature is <40K from the installation temperature

• Copper pipes

(b) Any pipe connected to a vessel nozzle where there is only one bend between the vessel and the plantroom wall.

(c) Reverse cycle wet return defrost pipes 50NB and above to coolers where we can expect more than one defrost per day. For this particular case we will apply an additional factor of safety by doubling the minimum perpendicular length required by the table. Note, pipelines connected to reciprocating compressors and pumps and pipelines made from materials not listed in Star Standard Specification 105 shall be treated as special cases and referred to the Technical Department.

(d) Short, large diameter (150NB and above) pipes shall be given particular attention.

(e) Any carbon or stainless steel line 100NB and above if it has a straight length of greater than 50m.

(f) Any line falling into Category III according to the Pressure Equipment Directive (refer to table below):

Design Pressure Line Size Falling Into PED Category III

Group 1 Gas (e.g. R717, R290)

Group 2 Gas (e.g. R134a, R744)

17 Bar G ≥250NB ≥300NB 25 Bar G ≥150NB ≥300NB 40 Bar G ≥125NB ≥300NB 52 Bar G ≥125NB ≥300NB 65 Bar G ≥125NB ≥300NB Note that for group 2 liquids such as water or glycol, the highest PED Category is II.

For pipe sizes less than 150NB identified as critical per point a) or e) above,

reference should be made to the tables for 65 Bar G pipework (Tables 37 to 51) even for systems with a lower design pressure. This will give a conservative result.

4.0 Worked Examples

Example 1 Consider the arrangement shown in Figure 1 which is covered in tables 1 to 8. Consider a 12”NB (300NB) carbon steel pipe at 25.5 Bar G at 60K temperature change and with length AB of 50 metres. Table 4 gives the minimum required perpendicular length BC as 5.4 metres. So if BC is 5.4 metres or longer the pipework arrangement provides code compliant flexibility. Example 2

Consider the arrangement shown in Figure 5 which is effectively two copies of the shape shown in Figure 1 and covered in tables 1 to 8. ABC’ is the standard shape, C’CD is the same shape rotated by 180º. Point C’ is the same point as the anchor point location C in Figure 1. Note, arrangement ABCD is in the same two dimensional plane. If CD was perpendicular to AB (rather than parallel to it) BC would be in torsion so this comparison would not be valid or required. Consider a 14” NB (350 NB) carbon steel pipe at 25.5 Bar G and at 80K with length AB of 10 metres and a downstream length CD of 5 metres, the design considers minimum required lengths from Table 5. At 10 metres we get 3 metres minimum required length of BC’ and at 5 metres we get 2.1 metres minimum required length of C’C. This gives a total required length of 5.1 metres minimum BC, giving a conservative estimate of pipework required to provide code compliant flexibility. Example 3 Consider a 10” NB (250 NB) stainless steel pipe at 25.5 Bar G and at 40K with length AB of 10 metres and a downstream length CD of 20 metres, the design considers minimum required lengths from Table 3. At 10 metres we get 2.2 metres minimum required length of BC’ and at 20 metres we get 3.2 metres minimum required length of C’C.

This gives a total required length of 5.4 metres minimum BC.
