requires special stress anaiysis: Commonly used to convey very viscous pr~cess fluids in an mner pIpe, neated by steam between the outer jacket ans! inner pipe, thermal end reactions can be predicted. Vaccuum jacketing is also used as an insulator for cryogenic fluicls and can be analyzed using the same calculation method for heated jacketed piping. By example, stress problems occuring with this type of piping system will be descrihed. The example assumes a process fluid requiring const.1nt, uniform heat not available through steam or electrical tracing systems. It further ass,:mcs-the need for a stainless steel Lnner pipe or core and an outer carbon steel pipe or jacket. Since both pipes are rigidly attached to flanges in spool pi.eces and each pire has a difTerent. thermal e~pansion _coefficient, ~xial - str~se~ will be _an_a_ly_z_e_d_._

An isometric dra\',ing of the sample problem is shown on Fig. 1. The construction is a three inch schedule '10 stainless steel core pipe with a four inch schedu1e ,10 carbon steel jacket. The jacket covers the core for its entire length and flanges arc used for system disrnantlillg. The heating medium is 180 psi-saturated ste<\m; proper collection and removal of condens:lte has been assumed. I t has also been assumed that the core pipe and j:lck~t pipe are at thenn:l! equilibrium.
