Piping SystemsPrimary Design Consideration is Safety

Evaluate Process Conditions Temperature Pressure Chemical compatibility/Corrosion allowances Vibration, flexing, bending Expansion/Contraction due to temperature change Environmental conditions

Evaluate the Effects of a LeakEvaluate Performance in a Fire Situation

Piping SystemsSecondary Considerations

Evaluate any Special Requirements Sanitary requirements – “Cleanability” Serviceability – ease of maintenance of

equipment Possible contamination of process fluid by

piping materials, sealants, or gasketing Earthquake, Hurricane, Lightening, Permafrost

Lowest Cost over the Lifetime

Piping SystemsCodes and Standards simplify design,

manufacturing, installation processStandards – provide design criteria for components standard sizes for pipe dimensions for fittings or valves

Codes – specific design/fabrication methodologies Incorporated into local/regional statute It’s the LAW

train of reactors and temporarily replaced with a section of pipe

CM4120Unit Operations LabPiping SystemsThe Design Process – a three step

approachDesign for Flow Find min. diameter to achieve desired flow

velocityDesign for Pressure Integrity Find min. wall thickness for process and

external conditions Find appropriate rating of in-line components

CM4120Unit Operations LabPiping SystemsTypical design velocity Rules of

Thumb when sizing piping...Water lines: 5-7 ft/secPump discharge: (d/2 + 4 ft/sec)Pump suction: (1/3 * discharge velocity)Steam: d in 1000 ft/minSlurries: > min. entrainment velocity

Plants, John Wiley, New York, 1957.

CM4120Unit Operations LabPiping SystemsEffect of Thermal ExpansionExample:Calculate the expansion per 20’

length of 2”, schedule 40 carbon steel steam line at boiler startup for a 100 psig steam service.

α=thermal expansion coefficientfor mild steel, α =6.6x10-6 in/inoF

CM4120Unit Operations LabPiping SystemsTemp of pipe at amb. cond. =70oFTemp of 100 psig sat. steam =338oFΔT=268oFL=20’=240”expansion due to temperatureincrease is α *L* ΔT

=(6.6x10-6in/inoF)*(240in)*(268oF)=0.42” in per 20’ of pipe

Page 34: Piping Systems

34

CM4120Unit Operations LabPiping SystemsWhat force is exerted on the end

restraints of that 20’ pipe if it is rigidly installed (end restraints can’t move)?σ=internal stress due to ΔT, and σ = α *(ΔT)*E

E is the material property called Modulus of Elasticity, relationship between stress and strain

E=30x106 psi for low carbon steel

Page 35: Piping Systems

35

CM4120Unit Operations LabPiping Systemsσ= α *(ΔT)*E

=(6.6x10-6 in/inoF)*(268oF)*(30x106lbf/in2)=53,000 lbf/in2

since σ=F/A, F=σ*Awhere: F=force on end restraints

A=cross sec. area of 2”, sched 40 pipe

36

CM4120Unit Operations LabPiping SystemsA=Π(OD2-ID2)/4

= Π(2.3752-2.0672)/4=1.07 sq.in

F= σ*A=(53,000 lbf/in2)*(1.07 in2)Force on the end restraints =57,000 lbf
