Design Construction of Piping Systems Prepared by Eng. Mostafa A. El-Sayed Aim of Seminar To know piping design basics by going through the following points: Design of pressure components. Pipe Span calculations. Design of pipe supports hangers. Stiffness flexibility. Expansion stresses. Line expansion flexibility. Supports anchorage of piping. Design of pressure piping Many decisions need be made in the design phase to achieve this successful operation, including: - Required process fluid quantity. - Optimum pressure-temperature. - Piping material selection. - Insulation selection (tracing). - Stress nozzle load determination. - Pipe support standard. The codes provide minimal assistance with any of these decisions as the codes are not design manuals. Design of pressure components Pipe Structure “static” design, not Layout design. Limitations: Code, Pressure, Temperature, How long is the plant lifetime, What is the plant reliability, etc.. Piping designed according to B31.3 has less lifetime than B31.1 due to lower F.S. Reliability of piping under B31.1 should be higher than B31.3 Given that the code is a product of pressure technology, one of the concerns is the pressure-temperature ratings of the components. Design of pressure components Each system be it vessel or piping has some base pressure-temperature rating. This is essentially the pressure temperature rating of the weakest member of the system. This can be translated that no minor component (valve, flange, etc) shall be the weakest link. The key components of the design conditions are the design pressure and the design temperature. Design pressure is defined as the most severe sustained pressure which results in the greatest component thickness and the highest component pressure rating. Design temperature is defined as the sustained pipe metal temperature representing the most severe conditions of coincident pressure and temperature. Design of pressure components Thus we can try
