Abstract
This report is about the design of steam piping and its stress analysis of a
given process flow diagram. The prime objective of this project is to design
the piping system and then to analyze its main components. Wall thicknesses
are calculated for all pipes which were found very safe for the operating
pressure. For header pipe the calculated wall thickness is 0.114 inch and the
standard minimum wall thickness is 0.282 inch which is greater than the
calculated one by more than 2.4 times. Different loads such as static loads,
occasional loads and thermal loads of all pipes were also calculated. After
load calculations, spacing of supports and designing of expansion loops were
carried out. Thermal, static and seismic analysis of main system pipe has
been done and results were compared with ASME Power Piping Code B31.1.
After calculation of all applied loads, anchor support components including
half channel beam C5 x 9 and standard circular column of 4 inch nominal size
were designed and analyzed both manually and on ANSYS software. Base
plate of size 15x15x1/4 inch and bolts of inch diameter and of length 20
inch were also designed. The results obtained from both methods were
compared and found safe under available applied loads.
1 Introduction
1.1 Thesis Introduction
Piping System design and analysis is a very important field in any process and power
industry. Piping system is analogous to blood circulating system in human body and is
necessary for the life of the plant. The steam piping system, mentioned in the thesis
will be used for supplying steam to different locations at designed temperature and
pressure. This piping system is one of the major requirements of the plant to be
installed.
This thesis includes the following tasks:
a) Process design of the complete piping system
b) Structural design of the pipes manually
c) Stress analysis of the pipes using ANSYS
d) Structural and thermal analysis of the expansion Loops
e) Structural design of supports manually
f) Modeling and stress analysis of support

Chapter 8
This chapter consists on the piping support design calculations, in which selection and
analysis of beam, column, base plate and bolts has been done.
Chapter 9
This chapter contained full modeling of anchor support in Pro-E and ANSYS and its
analysis in ANSYS.
2.2.1 Pipe
A pipe is a closed conduit of circular cross section which is used for the
transportation of fluids. If pipe is running full, then the flow is under pressure and if
the pipe is not running full, then the flow is under gravity.
2.2.5 Piping
Pipe sections when joined with fittings, valves, and other mechanical equipment and
properly supported by hangers and supports, are called piping.
2.3.1 Valves
A valve is a mechanical device that controls the flow of fluid and pressure within a
system. There are different types of valves some of them are discussed below [3].
a) ON/OFF Valves
These are the kind of valves which are used to stop of start the fluid flow e.g. Gate
valve, Globe valve, rotary ball valve, Plug valve and diaphragm valve etc.
b) Regulating Valve
These are the kind of valves which are used to start, stop and also to regulate the fluid
flow e.g. Needle valve, butterfly valve, Diaphragm and Gate valve etc.
c) Safety Valve
This valve reacts to excessive pressure in piping system. They provide a rapid means
of getting rid of that pressure before a serious accident occur. Safety valve is used
normally for gasses and steams. In safety valve the steam is discharge to the air
through a large pipe.
8
d) Pressure Regulating Valve
These valves regulate pressure in a fluid line keeping it very close to a pre-set level.
The valve is set to monitor the line, and make needed adjustments on signal from a
sensitive device.
Full loop
This is simply one complete turn of the pipe and, on steam pipe work, should
preferably be fitted in a horizontal rather than a vertical position to prevent
condensate accumulating on the upstream side as shown in Figure 2-1 below. When
space is available, it is best fitted horizontally so that the loop and the main are on the
same plane.
9
2.3.2.2
In majority of these loops guided cantilever method is used to find the deflection in
the loop. These loops are shown in the Figure 2-2 below.
2.4 Supports
Pipe support specifications for individual projects must be written in such a way as to
ensure proper support under all operating and environmental conditions and to
provide for slope, expansion, anchorage, and insulation protection. Familiarity with
standard practices, customs of the trade, and types and functions of commercial
component standard supports and an understanding of their individual advantages and
limitations, together with knowledge of existing standards, can be of great help in
achieving the desired results [1]. Good pipe support design begins with good piping
design and layout. For example, other considerations being equal, piping should be
routed to use the surrounding structure to provide logical and convenient points of
support, anchorage, guidance, or restraint, with space available at such points for use
of the proper component. Parallel lines, both vertical and horizontal, should be spaced
sufficiently apart to allow room for independent pipe attachments for each line. There
are different types of supports used in the piping system; some of them are discussed
below [2].
a) Anchor support
A rigid support providing substantially full fixity for three translations and
rotations about three reference axes. Figure 2-3 shows the model along with
10
the pipe and welding positions. Detail of this support will be discussed in
chapter 8.
b) Hanger support
A support for which piping is suspended from a structure, and so on, and
which functions by carrying the piping load in tension as shown below in
figure.
c) Sliding support
A device that providing support from beneath the piping but offering no
resisting other than frictional to horizontal motion as shown in Figure 2-5
below..
11
d) Spring support
Spring support is used when there is an appreciable difference b/w operating
and non operating conditions of the pipes. Constant load support is used when
loading condition change up to 6%.
e) Snubber support
These supports are used to restrain the dynamic load such as seismic loads,
water hammer and steam hammer etc. These supports are not capable of
supporting gravity loads. A simplified snubber support view is shown in
Figure 2-7 below.
f)
Roller support
A means of allowing a pipe to move along its length but not side ways. Roller
support is shown in Figure 2-8 below.

and
methodologies.
The
development and use of the computerized mathematical models of piping system have
brought analysis, design and drafting to new levels of sophistication. Codes and
standards were established to provide methods of manufacturing, listing and reporting
design data [3].
A standard is a set of specifications for parts, materials or processes intended
to achieve uniformity, efficiency and a specified quality. Basic purpose of the
standards is to place a limit on the number of items in the specifications, so as to
provide a reasonable inventory of tooling, sizes and shapes and verities [4]. Some of
the important document related to piping are:
I. American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
II. American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
III. American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM)
IV. Pipe Fabrication Institute (PFI)
V. American Welding Institute (AWS)
VI. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
On the other side A code is a set of specifications for analysis, design,
manufacture and construction of something. The basic purpose of code is to provide
design criterion such as permissible material of construction, allowable working
stresses and loads sets [4]. ASME Boiler and Pressure vessel codeB31, Sectiion-1 is
13
used for the design of commercial power and industrial piping system. This section
has the following sub section [1].
B31.1: For Power Piping.
B31.3: For Chemical plant and Petroleum Refinery Piping.
B31.4: Liquid transportation system for Hydrocarbons, liquid petroleum gas, and
Alcohols.
B31.5: Refrigeration Piping.
B31.8: Gas transportation and distribution piping system.
B31.1 Power piping code concerns mononuclear piping such as that found in
the turbine building of a nuclear plant or in a fossil-fueled power plant. Detail of this
code is given below in section 3.2. B31.3 code governs all piping within limits of
facilities engaged in the processing or handling of chemical, petroleum, or related
products. Examples are a chemical plant compounding plant, bulk plant, and tank
farm. B31.4 governs piping transporting liquids such as crude oil, condensate, natural
gasoline, natural gas liquids, liquefied petroleum gas, liquid alcohol, and liquid
anhydrous ammonia. These are auxiliary piping with an internal gauge pressure at or
below 15 psi regardless of temperature. B31.5 covers refrigerants and secondary
o
coolant piping for temperatures as low as 320 F. B31.8 governs most of the pipe lines
in gas transmission and distribution system up to the outlet of the customers meter set
o
assembly. Excluded from this code with metal temperature above 450 F or below o
20 F. As for as the steam piping is concerned, B31.1 Power piping is used because of
its temperature and pressure limitations which is discussed below in detail.
exceeding 160psig or temperatures exceeding 250 F. This code is typically used for
the transportation of steam or water under elevated temperatures and pressure as
14
mentioned above, so this is the reason that why this code is selected for the steam
piping system which is external to the boiler [5].

1) Maximum principle stress theory
2) Maximum shear stress theory (Tresca theory)
3.4.3.1
This theory states that failure will always occurs, whenever the greatest tensile stress
tends to exceed the uni-axial tensile strength or whenever the largest compressive
stress tends to exceed the uni-axial compressive strength. This theory has been found
to correlate reasonably well with test data for brittle fracture [3]. The maximum
principle stress theory form the basis for piping system governed by ANSI/ASME
B31 and subsection (class2 and class3) of section III of the ASME boiler and pressure
vessel codes [1].
3.4.3.2
Where on the other side the maximum shear stress theory states that failure of a
piping component occurs when the maximum shear stress exceed the shear stress at
the yield point in a tension test. In tensile test, at yield, 1= Sy, where 2 = 3 = 0. So
yielding in the component occurs when
max =
( 1 3 ) S y
=

This theory correlates reasonably well with the yielding of ductile materials [3]. This
maximum shear stress theory forms the basis for piping of subsection NB (calss1) of
ASME section III [1].

secondary, and peak. The limits of these stresses are related to the various failure
modes as follows [3].
3.4.3.3
Primary Stress
The primary stress limits are intended to prevent plastic deformation and bursting.
Primary stresses which are developed by the imposed loading are necessary to satisfy
the equilibrium between external and internal forces and moments of the piping
system. Primary stresses are not self-limiting. Therefore, if a primary stress exceeds
the yield strength of the material through the entire cross section of the piping, then
failure can be prevented only by strain hardening in the material. Thermal stresses are
never classified as primary stresses. They are placed in both the secondary and peak
stress categories [1].
Primary stresses are the membrane, shear or bending stress resulting from imposed
loadings which satisfy the simple laws of equilibrium of internal and external forces
and moments as arranged in table below;
Table 3-1 Primary stresses of pipes
Primary stresses which considerably exceed the yield strength of the piping material
will result in gross distortion or failure [5].
3.4.3.4
Secondary Stresses
The primary plus secondary stress limits are intended to prevent excessive plastic
deformation leading to incremental collapse. Secondary stresses are developed by the
constraint of displacements of a structure. These displacements can be caused either
by thermal expansion or by outwardly imposed restraint and anchor point movements.
Under this loading condition, the piping system must satisfy an imposed strain pattern
rather than be in equilibrium with imposed forces. Local yielding and minor
18
distortions of the piping system tend to relieve these stresses. Therefore, secondary
stresses are self-limiting [1].
Secondary stresses are self equilibrium stresses which are necessary to satisfy
the continuity of forces within a structure. As contrasted with stresses from sustained
loads, secondary stresses are not a source of direct failure in ductile with only a single
application of load. If the stresses exceed the material yield strength, they cause local
deformation which result in a redistribution of the loading and upper limit of the stress
in the operating condition. If the applied load is cyclic, however these stresses
constitute a potential source of fatigue failure e.g. the secondary stresses due to
different type of loads are given below in Table 3-2, [5].

Piping systems and components are designed to withstand two levels of site
dependent hypothetical earthquakes, the safe shut down earthquake and the
operational basis earthquake. Their magnitudes are expressed in terms of the
23
gravitational g. There motions are assumed to occur in three orthogonal directions,
one vertical and two horizontal directions.
Earthquake loads can either be calculated by dynamic Analysis or static
Analysis. In Dynamic analysis frequency response of the system is used to calculate
the Earthquake load whereas in Static Analysis, these loads are taken to be some
factor of the Pipe Dead load [3].

5 Support Design
Pipe support specifications for individual projects must be written in such a way as to
ensure proper support under all operating and environmental conditions and to
provide for slope, expansion, anchorage, and insulation protection. Familiarity with
standard practices, customs of the trade, types and functions of commercial
component standard supports and an understanding of their individual advantages and
limitations, together with knowledge of existing standards, can be of great help in
achieving the desired results [3].
Good pipe support design begins with good piping design and layout. For
example, other considerations being equal, piping should be routed to use the
surrounding structure to provide logical and convenient points of support, anchorage,
guidance, or restraint, with space available at such points for use of the proper
component. Parallel lines, both vertical and horizontal, should be spaced sufficiently
apart to allow room for independent pipe attachments for each line. There are
different types of supports used in the piping system e.g. Anchor support, Guide,
hanger, sliding, snubber support etc. The type of support which we will design in this
project is anchor support. It is a rigid support providing substantially full fixity for
three translations and rotations about three reference axes.
This support mainly includes the beam, column, base plate and anchor bolts. So the
design of all these components will be discussed in this chapter [1].

equilibrium. Bending stresses are usually far more significant than normal stresses
due to axial forces, therefore the flexural formula in its many form is one of the most
commonly used equations in structural analysis.
The flexural formula states that the value of the bending stress at any point on the
cross section of a member is [3].
b =
Mc
I
(5.1)
where
M = Bending moment on the cross section, in-lb
c = Distance from neutral axis to point of interest, in
I = Moment of inertia of cross section, in4
The failure mode for bending is material yielding. For this reason the allowable stress
for bending is usually limited to the material stress reduced by a safety factor.

where
V = shear force on cross section, lb
A = Cross sectional area, in2
y = Distance from the neutral axis to the centriod of the area, in
I = Moment of inertia of the beam cross section, in4
b = width of the beam, in
The horizontal shear stress is a maximum at the neutral axis of the beam.
This is opposite of the behavior of the bending stress which is maximum at the outer
edge of the beam and zero at the neutral axis.
27
5.1.3 Deflection
The lateral load acting on beam causes the beam to bend, deforming the axis of the
beam into a curve called the deflection of the beam. This deformation of a beam is
most easily expressed in terms of the deflection of the beam from its original
unloaded position. This deflection is measured from the original neutral surface to the
neutral surface of the deformed beam. The deflection in uniformly distributed
cantilever beam can be calculated by using the following equation [3]
ymax =
wl 4
8 EI
(5.3)
Where
y = deflection at point l, in
w = uniformly distributed load, lb/in
l = length at which deflection is to be calculated
E = Modulus of elasticity of the material being used in beam, Mpsi
I = Moment of inertia, in4
5.2 Column
A long slender bar subject to axial compression is called a column. The term column
is frequently used to describe a vertical member. Column may be divided into three
general types: Short columns, Intermediate columns and Long Column. The
compressive capacity of a column is dependent on its slenderness ratio, which is
defined as [3]
Slenderness ratio =
Kl
r
(5.4)
Where
K = a constant dependent on boundary conditions
r = least radius of gyration of the member = I
, in
28
Combination of K and L is also called effective length, leff = Kl. A generally accepted
relationship between the slenderness ratio and type of column is as follows.

Discussion: From results obtained from Table 6-6, it is cleared that all the allowable
pressures are greater than the operating pressure by more than 4 times. So that it is
concluded from above table that all the pipes are safe under applied pressure.

F = 0.000213 V 2 CD D
To find out the drag co-efficient CD, using (Appendix Figure A1) and Reynolds
number.
Re = 780 x V x D
Where
V = Wind velocity, 100 miles/hr
D = Out side diameter of insulated pipe, in
So, considering pipe no. 208
Re = 780 x100 x 11.77 = 9.18 x 105
F = 0.000213 1002 0.6 11.77 = 15.05lb / ft
So for all 48 pipes wind loads are calculated by using wind velocity 100 miles/hr and
pipe out side diameter including insulation thickness. These values are arranged in
Table 6-7 below.

L = Length of pipe, ft
Z = section Modulus, In3
Sh= Allowable tensile stress for the pipe at high temp, psi
w = Weight of the pipe (metal weight of pipe + fluid wt. + Insulation
wt.), lb/ft
Now to find the number of supports for every pipe, using the following equation [2],
Number of supports = (L/Ls) +1
(6.1)
Let take Pipe no. 208 and calculate span limitation for it by using the data from Table
6-1 and 6-8.
L = 262 ft (From Table 6-1)
Z = 16.8 in3 (Appendix Table A2)
Sh = 14400 ksi (Appendix Table A1)

The value obtained from the above equation show that that the maximum moment due
to thermal expansion will produce no disturbance, if an expansion loop is used for 200
ft length of pipe.

As it is already mention that a straight main pipe section has been selected for
analysis, which is divided into the following sections A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E, and E-F.
As this pipe section is considered as straight beam with one anchor support and four
vertical restraints, so there are five unknowns in this problem. For this purpose to
solve this problem singularity method has been followed.

moment equation and then solving for length L1 = 22.22 ft.

M ( x) = M 0 x 0 + R0 x1 w x 2 R1 x a1 M 1 x L 0

Where

From table 8-3 above it is cleared that the difference in deformation b/w the two
methods is 8%, for bending moment the difference is 8.5% while in maximum
stress the difference is 2.8 %. Comparing these values to the allowable limits for
deflection and stress, the beam is found to be safe for the available loads.

Column effective design load by using the following equation [7]:
= P + MH x m
(8.6)
Where
P = Compressive load on column, lb
MH = Horizontal equivalent moment, lb-in
m = Design factor for column
Equivalent Horizontal Load FH= (wind load + earth quick load + Impact load thermal load)/3.5
= 3714 lb
MH = FH x leff
= 24.36 ft-kips
Taking value of m = 2 (Appendix Table A10)
Column effective Design load = 585.47 + 24360 x 2
= 49.29 kips
Starting trial iteration from NPS 3 in, 3.5 in up to 4 in
Selecting NPS = 4 in with design load of 82 kips

Difference b/w both methods for deformation 4.9%, while for maximum stress, the
difference is 3.8%. The deformation value comes out to be slightly greater than
the normal value, this is because at the same time shock load of more than 12 kips,
high seismic load, high thermal load were present and also if the wind has speed of
100 mile/hour, then under such conditions above deflection value is possible.

10 Conclusions
Following conclusions are made from the analysis of the designed system.
1) The designed pipe verified all the conditions defined by the ASME Boiler and
Pressure Vessel code B31.1. Thickness and working pressure calculated are in
the safe limit. Thermal, Seismic and Sustained analysis results obtained are in
the safe limits defined by the Code.
2) Supporting Assembly confirms to the safety requirements of AISC standards.
3) The analysis shows that the complete system is safe and the results are verified
by manual calculations and ANSYS software.
4) On the positive side of the manual calculations lays the fact that it gives fully
basic concept of the piping system. While the assumptions made during
manual calculations make the results slightly differ from the software results.
5) As for thermal analysis is concerned, guided cantilever method was used and
this proved to be a useful tool for thermal stress loads calculations.
6) To do seismic analysis by manual calculations is really a tough job but static
analysis method was a handy tool to deal it.

11 Future Recommendations
After completing the design of main header pipe and anchor support of the steam
piping system, following suggestions are recommended.
1) For future work more stress should be given on the proper use of the piping
software so that complex piping networks can be analyzed with it.
2) Although manual calculations method is a valuable tool for the understanding
and analysis of the simple piping network but for complex piping systems it
can lead no where. So therefore the best option we have is more and more
using of piping software.
3) Further optimization of Anchor support column is suggested.
4) To complete the analysis of Anchor support, analysis of base plate and bolts
are also suggested.
