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.
