Hello Everyone,

If pipe size is large, temperature more. At anchor point why Caesar not considering circumferential stresses due to temperature.

What is the Basis for neglecting that stresses???

please respond.

The typical flexibility analysis (B31.1/B31.3) addresses "longitudinal stresses" only.

Dear Mr.Richard,

As per expansion stress case we allow for local yielding of pipe. In that case is there any allowance taken care for thickness calculation for circumferential stresses.

In FPSO's there are expansion load cases which is considered for towing
because of structural displacements. If there is an yielding in pipe as allowed in expansion case and if the pipe is hydrotested after towing will there not be failure at the point where the pipe yielded.

Dear All,

I think in underground piping, this circumferential stresses due to temperature may cause huge impact on the pipe.

May be low temperature, but the expansion due to temperature is completely restricted.

Then what is the reason flexibility analysis (B31.1/B31.3)addresses "longitudinal stresses" only Due to temperature.

If you're running B31.4 or B31.8, then the hoop stress is included in the Code Stress equations. These are the Codes you should be using for buried piping.

B31.1/B31.3 address unrestrained (above ground) piping, and consider longitudinal stresses (look at the equations).
