19 A. WALL THICKNESS
20 Grade X60
21 SMYS of Line Pipe S 60200 psi 415 MPa
22 Wall Thickness Calculated tmin 15.5 mm 0.610 inch
23 tmin = P x D / (2x Sx Fx E x T) + A
24 Next higher API wall thickness t 15.9 mm 0.626 inch
25 D/t Check ( Should be < 96) 58

27 B. EQUIVALENT STRESS CHECK FOR CORRODED PIPE CONDITION
28 Wall thickness (t) 14.4 mm
29 Hoop Stress = Sh = PD/2t 201.6 MPa
30
31 B.1 Restrained Pipe (Underground)
32 Thermal Stress = ST = a (Ti - Td) E -125.9 MPa
33 Longitudinal Stress due to pressure = SP = 0.3 Sh 60.5 MPa
34
35 Longitudinal Stress, SL
36 SL = SP + ST + SB + SX 0.9 x SMYS = 374 MPa
37
38 Without considering SB (Bending stress) and SX (Axial stress due to external loading):
39 SL = SP + ST -65.5 MPa
40 Longitudinal Stress check : SL 0.9 x SMYS hence OK
41
42 Equivalent Stress, SE
43 SE1 = | Sh - SL | SE1 267.1 MPa
44 SE2 = [ Sh2 + SL2 - Sh SL ]1/2 SE2 241.1 MPa
45 SE = Max (SE1, SE2) 0.9 x SMYS = 374 MPa SE 267.1 MPa
46 Equivalent Stress check : SE 0.9 x SMYS hence OK
47
48 B.2 Unrestrained Pipe (Aboveground)
49 Longitudinal Stress due to pressure = SP = 0.5 Sh 100.8 MPa
50
51 Longitudinal Stress, SL
52 SL = SP +SB + SX 0.75 x SMYS = 312 MPa
53 Without considering SB (Bending stress) and SX (Axial stress due to external loading):
54 SL = SP 100.8 MPa
55 Longitudinal Stress check : SL 0.75 x SMYS hence OK
56
57 C. MINIMUM BENDING RADIUS
58 Minimum bending radius for underground section is calculated from maximum margin of bending stress,
59 based on Max (SE1, SE2) = 0.9 x SMYS. Hence, bending stress SB = -106.5 MPa
60 R (Minimum Bend Radius) = E D / (2 |Sb|) 889 m
61
62 D. CHECK ON THINNING DUE TO COLD BENDS: BEND RADIUS = 40 D
G

63 Inner bend radius divided by diameter, (n) 39.5

64 As per PD 8010-1:2004, % of Wall thinning = 50 / (n+1) 1.23 %
65 Pipe thk. before bending = cal thk/(1-thinning %) 15.7 mm
66 Available thickness for bending (= Selected thk) 15.9 mm
67 Adequacy Check (Pipe thk before bending < Available thk) OK
