The difference of piping & pipeline stress analysis
Piping modeling
• Code requirement shall use ASME B31.3
• Aboveground• Many support or restrain
needed
Pipeline modeling
• Code requirement use ASME B31.4 for liquid & B31.8 for gas transmission
• Usually Underground• Shall use anchor block as a
restrain from aboveground-underground conversely
Burried Pipe
• Buried pipe deforms laterally in areas immediately adjacent to changes in directions
• In areas far removed from bends and tees the deformation is primarily axial
PIPELINE BURRIED MODELING
• The Buried Pipe Modeler is started by selecting an existing
job, and then choosing menu option Input-Underground from
the CAESAR II Main Menu
• Enter the soil data using Buried Pipe - Soil Models
• Describe the sections of the piping system that are buried,
and define any required fine mesh areas using the buried
element data spreadsheet
• Convert the original model into the buried model by the
activation of option Buried Pipe - Convert Input
Input soil models
The buried element description spreadsheet serves several functions
• It allows the user to define which part of the piping system is buried.
• It allows the user to define mesh spacing at specific element ends.
• It allows the input of user defined soil stiffnesses
Burried pipe example
Anchor Block Restrain
• Pipeline with a long distance needs block valve, there were a change direction from underground to aboveground
• In this situation pipeline must be installed with anchor block before and after aboveground pipe
Why we need anchor block ?
• To prevent stress failed on block valve due to axial deformation of a long pipeline
Example of block valve modeling
Anchor block
Anchor block
Load Case Combination
• To check stress analysis on pipeline shall use several load case combination as folow :
• Sustain Load ( W + P)• Thermal Load (T)• Combination Load ( W + T + P)
