Pipe Calculation Report - Revised

This document summarizes the spool pipe calculation report for items SPP-85605 and SPP-85606 in the Olefins Reconfiguration Project. It includes: 1) Pipe wall thickness calculations to ensure the FRP pipe can withstand the 1,000 kPa internal pressure and external loads from gravel and other materials. 2) Calculation of the maximum unsupported span length of 3.098 meters to limit deflection to under 7.6mm based on the pipe properties and total load. 3) A pipe stress analysis using a 3000mm span with 300mm supports that found the maximum stress of 48.275 MPa was below the acceptable limit of 55 MPa.

Spool Pipe Calculation Report

Project: Olefins Reconfiguration Project (TTCL)

Item No: SPP-85605, SPP-85606

Calculation Topic
1. Pipe Wall Thickness Calculation from following conditions
1.1. Internal Pressure
1.2. External Load
2. Span Length Calculation
3. Pipe Stress Analysis from software simulation

Vendor: GRE Composites co. ltd

Manufacturer: Thai Composites co. ltd


1. Pipe Wall Thickness Calculation
Pipe Data

Material FRP
Nominal Diameter 150 mm (6”)
Outside Diameter 160 mm
Inside Diameter 152 mm
Thickness of liner, Tl 0.5
Reinforced thickness, Tr 3.5 mm
Total Pipe Thickness, Tt
Tt = Tr+Tl 3.5 + 0.5 = 4 mm

Specific Gravity 1.8 g / cm3


Hoop Tensile Stress 100 MPa (100,000 kPa)
Pipe Stiffness ,PS 496 kPa

Conditions

Fluid Type Air


Internal Pressure 1,000 kPa (10 bar)
Assume pressure in static condition

1.1 Pipe Thickness by Internal Pressure Condition

Ref: ASTM D2992

Therefore,
(100,000) = (1,000) (160 – tr)/2tr

tr = 0.796 mm

Check compliance
tr = 0.796 mm < 3.5 mm  This thickness is ACCEPTABLE
1.2 Pipe Thickness by External Pressure Condition

Ref: ASTM D 2412

Conditions
External Load over the pipe
- Gravel (Density 2400 kg/m3) 300 mm height (from the bottom trench)
o Volume of Gravel = (0.025147 m2) * (1 m)

= 0.025147 m3

o Mass of gravel per 1 m length = 60.353 kg/m-length

- Media (Density 970 kg/m^3) 1000 mm height


o Volume of media = (1000) * (1000) * (160) = 0.16 m3
o Mass of media per 1 m length = 155.2 kg/m-length

Focus on 1 m length, the total load above the pipe = 60.353 + 155.2 = 215.553 kg/m-length

From

So,

Defection from external load, ∆y = (215.553)(9.81) / (496*1000) = 4.26 mm

From the allowable defection of pipe (recommended by manufacturer) = 5% of internal diameter


= (0.05*152) = 7.6 mm

Therefore, ∆y < = 5% of internal diameter  This thickness is ACCEPTABLE


2. Span Length Calculation
Ref: AWWA M45

Calculation deflection Type IV. Pipe analyzed as a beam fixed at both ends—uniformly distributed
loads.

Ls = unsupported span length, m


dm = allowable midpoint deflection, in. (12.5 mm. is typical for fiberglass)

Eb = Elastic Modulus of pipe 6900 x 106 N/m2 (Pa)


ID = Inside Diameter, m 152 x 10-3 m
OD = Outside Diameter, m 160 x 10-3 m
I = (π/64)(OD⁴ -ID⁴ ), m4 5.967 x 10-6 m4
W = total load (pipe + above the pipe) (215.553 + 3.528)*(9.81) N/m
= 2149.185

Ls = { [ (12.5*10-3)(6900*106)(5.967*10-6) ] / [ (0.0026)(2149.185) ] }0.25 = 3.098 m


Therefore, the recommend unsupported span length should be less than 3.098 m
3. Pipe Stress Analysis
Assume the worst case (No ground support under the pipe)

- Select 3 supports span length = 3000 mm


- Area of support = 300 mm each

- Applied the load = 2149.185 N/m or 21491.85 N (total) along the pipeline
Result

- At the critical point shows that the maximum stress is 48.275 MPa which is acceptable ( < 55
MPa)
