Hot sustained stress" in Casar's Technical Reference Manua - Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis

Page 2 of 9

Hi,erveybody! I have a doubt on the Load cases comb method of "Hot sustained stress" mentioned in the 6 Chapter of Technical Reference Manual: L1 = W + T + P OPE L2 = W + P (SUS) L3 = T (EXP) L4 = L1-L2 (EXP) L5 = L1-L3 (SUS) Above,They use L5 to calculate the "hot sustained stress",But,I do not think this is a suitable method. When the piping system is a nonlinear system This approach will cause the stress which is generating by the nonlinear(which is secondary) to be included in the primary stress. Many previous analysis of the pipeline, is now running very well for several years , but after analysis using this method, the primary stress is always not pass ,but even beyond 300% In my opinion, weight is also a limiting factor on the temperature the virtual weightless Load case will lead the force of pipeline system (which one end is fixed,the other end is free) to be zero,In this state all +Y support will lift off,and then,if you add the weight and pressure,the pipeline will sag back to the support,but the stress by the lift off gap will be included primary stress in this case. it will casuse a lot of pipeline system to be failure, even a lot of pipeline system which don't have support to lift off also don't pass and exceed a lot than the code stress .

if the fact is temperature is always earlier to exist in the piping system than weight,and later to unload,so the L5 is right,but it is not the fact,so i think it is not suitable to calculate the hot sus stress using this method. this is why we can use (w+P+T+wind)-(w+p+T) to get wind ,because the wind is Generally to load after Terperatue. For nonlinear systems, the sequence of loading is critical My English is very bad, I could not express what I mean

in fact ,the weight is always earlier to exist in the piping system than the temperature and later to unload.

For this type of "automated" hot sus check, you MUST change the +Y restraints to Y for SUPPORTS that DO NOT LIFT OFF for the OPE or SUS raw cases. This has been discussed many times on this forum and opinions vary greatly on this subject. Do some searches on HOT SUS etc. and hopefully the posts still exist since many posts have been lost during forum Host/IP changes over the years. _________________________ Bob Zimmerman, P.E.

I have to disagree with Bob. The (Operating - Thermal) case will calculate a sustained stress based on the hot position of the pipe without changing those +Y's to Y's. Maybe this model change would eliminate questions but if you're going to go throught that work you might as well just remove the +Y's that are not active in the operating case and run the sustained case alone. But as Bob says, a search should uncover several of these conversations. (Operating - Thermal) will account for the incremental change in the sustained stress (or really, the longitudinal stress due to sustained loads) as the load from thermal strain is incrementally added to the system (that is, as the system heats up). I have no comment on occasional loads. _________________________ Dave Diehl

To "lanxuedream", I had the same comments and even more. I think that we all have some doubts, the thing is that you will have to judge on case by case basis and not on one or other opinion that are in conflict. My opinion is that as a general rule, try to avoid the lift off, if it is not possible (and some time it is not) try to judge on the nature of this lift off. If it is small lift off (about 2..3 mm)and if you think that after a while the pipe will sag down at that location (your call) this is ok. But do not allow that two consecutive supports will lift off. In addition: Remember that you are always on your own. Regards _________________________ Dan

hi,dave i want to know the method of the L5 is suitable? i don't think it is right. if there is not lift off for all support in the model in operate state,using this method to calculate the primary stress will be different with the default method,and always cause to not pass.

Hot sustained stress" in Casar's Technical Reference Manua - Intergraph CADWorx & Analysis

Hi,dan: I understand what you said. If there is no piping support to lift off in my pipe system, using traditional methods to check the primary stress and pass, but if you use L5 method to check the primary stess and not pass, it is entirely possible. then Do I need to focus on the problems caused by L5 method? I think using the L5 method is not correct, because it will no only be a span question which cause the primary failure, and sometimes that is linear and nonlinear , flexible and not Flexible question which also cause primary stress using L5 method. as BOB said, the + Y to Y, and sometimes will make the calculation by L5 to pass. So I think L5 approach is not desirable, do you know what I want to do say? please give me some comments.

Hi,Coades Engineer I have read your company's Technical Reference Manual about Hot sus and non linear restraint. From a technical manual, you have the view seems to consider french petrochemical code's view is suitable, using the L5 method is not your intention, but you could not guarantee that everyone agree with your view, so you Allow engineers to define the case According to their company's specification. I understand it right? If what i understand is right ,i agree with the french petrochemical code's view,the vary value from cold to hot state is an expansion range,not a primary stress

Firstly, we do not offer engineering consultation - we interpret Codes just like you do and implement our interpretations and those of our user base as changes (imporvements?) to CAESAR II and our other programs. So, simply because we show how the program can be used does not remove your obligation to exercise good engineering judgement. For after all, you are the engineer providing the evaluation of the piping system, not the program authors. Yes, an older edition of the French code stated (I recollect) that changes in weight distribution is a secondary effect. This endorses your L5. So I agree with you but I am not the one you must convince. That French phrase has since been removed and I do not know why. Standards come about from general agreement - when most people (engineers) perform a certain task in the same manner, a standard can emerge. Certainly, treatment of nonlinear response has not reached that point of general agreement. _________________________ Dave Diehl
