Session overview
Taking the task from piping design to piping engineering. What questions does CAESAR II answer? A brief CAESAR II “design” sequence design sequence. Should conclude within the hour. Please use the Webinar dialog box to post your questions.

Piping designer responsibilities
Designer locates equipment and then routes pipe between these positions using an established “pipe” specification
– – – – – – – – The piping system is a unique pressure containment. Pipe size is based on pressure drop, flow rate Pipe specification (e.g. wall thickness) is based on design pressure & temperature Material based on service requirements q Hydraulic issues Spans between supports (deadweight sag) System stability y y Access / clearance
Givens:
Designer has established rules for basic layout

So what’s left for the piping engineer?
Many systems require analysis to evaluate strain
– Sources of thermal growth
Pipe Equipment connections (vessels and equipment)
–
Other sources of strain
Support settlement Support movement in marine piping
Strain S i
– –
Load L d
Stress S
Evaluate pipe load as stress due to this strain Evaluate load on equipment directly
Except for simple layouts, the system response due to this strain is difficult to estimate Analysis yields a better estimate of pipe deflection, loads on pipe supports and equipment connections, and stress in the piping; and not only for strain.

Designer “handoff” to engineering
Many shops develop a “critical line list” to determine which piping layouts require additional engineering evaluation So, a move is made from “Design by Rule to “Design by Analysis” Design Rule” Design Analysis
A where CAESAR II enters the picture This is sample “Critical Line List” from PROCESS PIPING: The Complete Guide to ASME B31.3, by Charles Becht IV, ASME PRESS, New York, 2002 ======================================== • In the case of general piping systems; according to the following line size/flexibility Design b R l vs.i Di D i temperature criteria: i b A l i by Rule Design by Analysis: • All DN 50 (NPS 2) and larger lines with a design differential temperature over 260°C (500°F) Design by Rule: • All DN 100 (NPS 4) and larger lines with a design differential temperature exceeding Minimum pressure thickness = (PD)/(2(SEW+PY)) 205°C (400°F) • All DN 200 (NPS 8) and larger lines with a design differential temperature exceeding 150°C (300°F) Design by Analysis: • All DN 300 (NPS 12) and larger lines with a design differential temperature exceeding Maximum stress due to pressure = Sh = (2/3)(yield stress) 90°C (200°F) Stress due to pressure = PD/2t • All DN 500 (NPS 20) and larger lines at any temperature • All DN 75 (NPS 3) Is PD/2t < Sh ? ( ) and larger lines connected to rotating equipment g g q p • All DN 100 (NPS 4) and larger lines connected to air fin heat exchangers Yes: OK • All DN 150 (NPS 6) and larger lines connected to tankage No: Redesign required • Double-wall piping with a design temperature differential between the inner and the outer pipe greater than 20°C (40°F)

Four typical interests in “pipe stress analysis”
Selecting and sizing supports Checking pipe deflection under load Verifying loads on connected equipment Evaluating pipe stress And not only for those strain-based loads…

Creating a CAESAR II Model
Start with a stress isometric or similar concept (the analog) Mark up the drawing for analysis Create the piping input model (a digital representation of that analog) 110 90
