1.0 PURPOSE

The purpose of this guideline is to provide a methodology and simplified tables to establish retirement thicknesses for pipes designed in accordance with ASME B31.3. This guideline should be used to conduct condition assessment of piping per EG 6002, Model Plant Procedure for condition Assessment.

2.0 SCOPE 2.1 The rules of this guideline apply only to uniform corrosion and not to scattered pitting or

localized thinning. For localized thinning, API 570, ASME B31G or appropriate Mechanical Integrity Risk Assessment document should be used.

2.2 Tables included in this guideline are for easy reference and are intended as screening tools to

establish a first-cut retirement thickness. The retirement thicknesses provided in the tables are only for the following conditions. For conditions other than the one specified below, use the equations presented in this guideline to calculate the retirement thickness.

2.2.1 Carbon steel (A53 Gr B, A106 Gr B), 1-1/4 Cr-1/2 Mo (A335 P11) and Type 304L stainless pipe

materials. 2.2.2 Maximum design temperature of 800° F. 2.2.3 Maximum design pressure of 1000 psi. 2.2.4 Pipe diameter between 1-1/2 and 36 in. inclusive. 2.2.5 Joint efficiency of 1.0 for seamless or 100% radiographed pipes and 0.85 for welded pipes. 2.2.6 Maximum span of 40 ft. 2.2.7 Liquid specific gravity of 1.0. 2.3 The retirement thicknesses contained in these tables might be excessively conservative for some

systems. This depends on how close the actual system design parameters are to the parameters used in the tables. Therefore a more detailed retirement thickness evaluation might be warranted before a final decision is made, if the tables indicate that pipe should be retired. The retirement thickness for the actual design conditions may be calculated using the equations presented in this document or using a computer program available with Specialty Engineering.

2.4 It is assumed that the entire line section under consideration has been inspected per API 570. If

the pipe is to be retained in service, the decision is based upon the area with the greatest metal loss.

2.5 These tables should not be used for pipe subject to vacuum, or for piping designed to meet the

requirements of other codes or standards. 2.6 All measurements are expressed in the U.S. Conventional System of Measurement, followed by,

in parenthesis, the equivalent SI units (metric). All SI units are for reference only and shall not be interpreted as a precise conversion.

3.0 CODES, STANDARDS AND REFERENCES

The latest editions of the following codes and standards in effect on the date of contract award shall be used, except as otherwise specified.

3.1 Lyondell Engineering Standards and Guidelines

4.0 TABLE USAGE

The following guidelines are provided for use of the tables. 4.1.1 Based on the design temperature, identify the applicable table for the given pipe size. Two tables

are given for each pipe size. One for design temperature 600°F and under, and the second for design temperature between 601°F and 800°F.

4.1.2 Based on the material, joint efficiency factor, and the span, identify the applicable row in the

Table. 4.1.3 Based on the design pressure identify the applicable column and read the retirement thickness.

The next higher value of design pressure should be used for design pressures between the values specified.

4.1.4 An estimate should be made of the maximum span between pipe support points. Tables are

provided for up to 20 ft (6 m) spans for pipe diameters under 6 in., and for both 20 ft (6 m) and 40 ft (12 m) spans for larger diameters. The table for the next higher support span from the actual value should be used for the evaluation.

4.1.5 Corrosion allowances are not included in the tables. If the piping is subject to corrosion, a

corrosion allowance must be added to the values contained in these tables. The corrosion allowance should be sufficient to allow the pipe to remain in service and not corrode below the tabulated thickness during the following interval of plant operation.

5.1 Design Assumptions

The following assumptions apply to the calculations made to develop the retirement thicknesses contained in these tables.

5.1.1 Calculations were made for both the circumferential pipe stress due to internal pressure, and the

longitudinal pipe stress due to both internal pressure and uniform weight load. The larger thickness resulting from these two calculations is used in the tables.

5.1.2 The liquid specific gravity was assumed equal to 1.0. 5.1.3 The pipe is assumed to be insulated. Insulation was assumed to be calcium silicate having a

density of 11 lb/ft3. Insulation thickness used for each pipe size is given in the Table. 5.1.4 There are no large, local weight loads (e.g., valves, flanges, etc.) included in the calculations. It

is assumed that where these items are installed, they are located relatively close to support points. 5.1.5 Retirement thickness considerations at fabricated branch intersection points (i.e., unreinforced or

pad reinforced welded pipe intersections) are not included within these tables. The stated retirement thicknesses apply to locations that are at least one branch pipe diameter away from the branch pipe centerline where it intersects the header pipe. Corrosion located closer to the branch pipe intersection should be evaluated using ASME B31.3 branch reinforcement criteria.

5.1.6 The pipe wall thicknesses must be at least equal to the following minimum values, based on

nominal pipe diameter, D. This is to provide basic strength to resist mechanical damage due to imposed external loads not explicitly designed for.

D, in. t min , in.1-1/2 to 2-1/2 0.08 3 - 4 0.095 6 - 12 0.10 14 - 16 0.16 20 0.18 24 - 36 0.20

5.1.7 The pipe is assumed to be seamless (or have a weld joint efficiency of 1.0) for 6 in. and under for

carbon steel pipes, and 2 in. and under for stainless steel pipes. Both seamless and welded pipes (joint efficiency of 0.85) are evaluated for rest of the pipe sizes.

5.1.8 Pipe deflection was not used as a limiting criterion, because excessive deflection would not

constitute pipe failure. Thermal flexibility stresses were also not considered because these are a strong function of specific piping system layout and design details. Localized corrosion at stress intensification points (e.g., elbows, branch connections) should be evaluated on an individual basis for its impact on local thermal stresses and the probability of fatigue failure.

5.2 Calculations 5.2.1 The retirement thickness tables are based on the circumferential stress in the pipe due to internal

pressure, and the longitudinal stress in the pipe due to both internal pressure and dead weight loading. An iterative procedure was used to determine which condition governed pipe retirement

in each case. The stress in the pipe was limited to the hot allowable stress of the pipe material in accordance with ASME B31.3.

5.2.2 The following equations were used:

Circumferential Stress, Sc

t = PD

2E(Sc + 0.4P)

Longitudinal Stress, SL

SL = 5 WL2 + PD - 0.2P

4Z 4t Where:

Sc = SL = S = hot allowable stress per ASME B31.3

t = allowable pipe wall thickness, in. ti = insulation thickness, in. P = internal pressure, psig D = pipe outside diameter, in. E = longitudinal weld joint efficiency L = straight span between pipe supports, ft Z = pipe section modules, in3

W = uniform weight load, lb/ft = Wp + WL + WI Wp = pipe weight WL = liquid contents weight WI = insulation weight

Using the circumferential stress equation, the determination of allowable thickness is simple and straightforward. The pipe thickness, t, is a direct function of the other parameters.

The longitudinal stress equation is more complicated to solve for allowable thickness because several terms are functions of thickness. The following summarizes the further development of the longitudinal stress equation as it was ultimately used in the calculations.

Z = π D2t = 0.785 D2t

WP = 10.68 Dt

A computer program was used to iteratively solve the longitudinal stress equation for “t” based on input values of P, D, L, WI and S. The program also solved for the required “t” based on the simpler circumferential stress equation. The larger of the two calculated values and the values specified in paragraph 5.1.6 was used in the retirement Tables.

5.2.3 Of necessity, the pipe retirement tables specify particular pipe materials, design conditions, pipe

diameters and support spans to permit generalization. The Tables could be conservative for some piping systems. For example, if a 20 in. diameter pipe has a 25 ft (8 m) support span, the 40 ft (12 m) retirement table would have to be used. If this indicates the pipe is too thin and must be replaced, it would be worthwhile to use the equations directly for the 25 ft span and calculate a more accurate retirement thickness. Of course if internal pressure rather than support span governed the thickness, the 40 ft (12 m) vs. 25 ft (8 m) span is irrelevant. Other situations where specific calculations may be worthwhile are for vapor services, or situations with significantly different insulation details that were governed by the longitudinal stress equation.

5.2.4 The following example summarizes the use of these equations to solve for retirement thickness

(without going through all the iterations).

Example

Calculate retirement thickness for both liquid and gas service, 20 in. diameter, seamless, A53/B pipe under the following conditions:

P = 200 psig T = 700°F Span = 40 ft

Insulation Thickness = 4 in. Specific Gravity = 1.0

S = 16500 psi (from ASME B31.3)

• Circumferential Stress

t = PD = 200 x 20

2E(S + 0.4P) 2 x 1(16500 + 0.4 x 200)

t = 0.121 in. - Retirement thickness based only on circumferential stress.

Longitudinal Stress

In order to avoid the iterations needed, just assume the thickness is 0.131 in. In a real case, start with the thickness calculated for circumferential stress, and increase it as required until the longitudinal stress equation is satisfied.

WP = 10.68 Dt = 10.68 x 20 x 0.131 WP = 28 lb/ft

WL = 0.34(D-2t)2 = 0.34(20 - 2 x 0.131)2

WL = 132.5 lb/ft

Wi = 0.24 (ti2 - Dti) = 0.24 (42 - 20x4)

Wi = 23.04 lb/ft

W = WP + WL + WI = 28 + 132.5 + 23.04 W = 183.5 lb/ft

SL = 1.592 WL2 + PD

D2t 4t

= 1.592 x 183.5 x 402 + 200 x 20 202 x 0.131 4 x 0.131

= 16553 psi

Therefore the retirement thickness must be 0.131 in. for liquid filled pipe.

If the pipe is in gas service, then WL = 0

W = 28 + 23.04 W = 51 lb/ft

Use t = 0.121 as an initial assumption for the longitudinal stress calculation, because the retirement thickness can’t be less than that needed for the circumferential stress.

SL = 1.592 x 51 x 402 + 200 x 20

202 x 0.121 4 x 0.121

SL = 10948 psi

Because this is still less than the allowable stress, the longitudinal stress calculation does not govern. The retirement thickness is 0.121 in.

5.2.5 A computer program is available with Specialty Engineering, which calculates the pipe

retirement thickness using the guidelines specified in this document. A copy of the program may be obtained from the Sponsor.
