1.0 INTRODUCTION This Mathtad calculation sheet determine the pipeline expansion due to thermal loading. The theory is based on that given in OTC paper 4067, Palwer ¢ Ling, 1981. Further, the pipeline in situ stresses are also considered herein. 2.0 ASSUMPTIONS The following assumptions are made: 2.1) The pipeline longitudinal friction coefficient of 0.5. 2.2) The calculation is conservatively based on the naximm pipeline departure and arrival temperatures. 2.3) The pipeline is laid at the bottom of the trench and does not have a span. 3.0 MATHCAD STANDARD UNITS ORIGIN= 1 1 teed kWw= 10°N Te= tonne £ kPas i0°Pa ba 10°Pa MP: i0%Pa Gas i0°Pa ppm = mgxa 9 sano = 105m01 parrel-= 0.1590 HP = inp Hg = 19% joule ka = 10 "joule Biya 10° wane deg knots:= 0.514mx sec” + Jgad= 1000ps3 4.0 PIPELINE EXPANSION CALCULATIONS A.1 Input Data Zor 12"Pipeline-Qperation Condition Internal pressure pps 9.7MPa Water Depth D:= 9.0m Pipeline oD OD:= 323.85mm Water density Pegi= 1025kg xm 2 ipeline wall thickness 8.
