Calculation Method
(1) Weight calculation criteria of piping, valve and insulation
1) Liquid piping
a) Insulated and subject to hydrostatic pressure test
Load = piping weight + insulation weight + contents weight
b) Un-insulated and subject to hydrostatic pressure test
Load = piping weight + contents weight
c) Insulated and subject to pneumatic pressure test
Load = piping weight + insulation weight + contents weight
d) Un-insulated and subject to pneumatic pressure test
Load = piping weight + contents weight
2) Gas piping
a) Insulated and subject to hydrostatic pressure test
Load = piping weight + insulation weight + water weight
b) Un-insulated and subject to hydrostatic pressure test
Load = piping weight + water weight
c) Insulated and subject to pneumatic pressure test
Load = piping weight + insulation weight
d) Un-insulated and subject to pneumatic pressure test
Load = piping weight
Note : 1) For pipe and insulation weight, refer to weight table of paragraph 6.4.
2) For instrument duct and electric duct, refer to the following table.

The stress limit on anchors and guides is 1410 kg/ Max.

(2)

Force limit on anchors and guides is 1000 kg Max. unbalanced force including friction
loads.
Example 1 :

Where Ft = Thermal force


Ft = Friction force
Total unbalanced force = (1600 + 1300) - (1300 + 1000)
= 700 kg
This is within the limiting criteria
Example 2 :

Total unbalanced force = (1900 + 1400) - (700 + 500)


= 2100 kg

This exceeds the limiting criteria of 1000 kg unbalanced force.


Consult lead stress engineer for possible alternatives to comply with the force
limitation.
Notes : 1. For friction loads, we can manually calculate them getting the unit weights from
the table in para.6.4.
2. For thermal loads, we can manually calculate them using the data and nomographs.
But computer program is very well prepared and is it faster, accurate to use
computer for total unbalanced force at the anchor point.
(3)

Expansion loop requirements


a) Generally, if the total expansion in any direction on the piperack is less than
100 mm, the loop could be avoided by locating an anchor in the middle of the run.
b) The total expansion between loop anchors should not exceed 350 mm.
c) The Max. expansion at the change of direction (i.e. points and in the example3)
should not exceed 50 mm, consult the lead stress engineer for any exceptions.

(4)

Location of loops and guides

Commodity

: 50 mm thick calsium silicate


(12.7 kg/m - from weight table)

Friction coefficient = 0.3 ( steel on steel)


a) Total expansion in the East - West direction.
150 3.02 = 453 mm
b) Anchor should be located in such a way that the expansion going into the loop should
not exceed 350 mm and the total unbalanced forces at the anchors should be within

the limiting criteria (para.6.3(2)). Locate anchor at 15 m from point and .


c) Expansion going into the loop
{138 - (215)} 3.02 = 326 mm
d) Expansion loop can be sized manually using data and nomograph.
f) Anchor and guide loads can be calculated manually or by computer. calculating by
computer is more fast and accurate

For W = 1500 mm to 3000 mm, G 60000 mm


For W > 3000 mm, G 12000 mm
Fu = Total unbalanced force.
To locate guides, follow the pipe guide spacing tabulated in

Expansion Loops
Loops designed according to these charts will be stressed to the allowable limit for A-53 Gr.B
seamless Pipe.

or equal, with LR elbows of the same thicikness as straight pipe.

Do not use for weaker material, or extraploate beyond the range of the charts.
With long expansion lenghts and nested loops, investigate pipe movements.
If thrusts are critical, consult stress section.
The distance between the guides. "G" is a minimum.
If there is not sufficient room to accommodate the depth of loop shown on the chart, then some
relief can be found by widening the loop.

This effect is small, and can only be counted on within

the following limits:

To reduce H by 0.3m, increase W by 3.6m


To reduce H by 0.6m, increase W by 7.2m
If W > 6m then G 2W
H always 1.5m, even after reduction.
No. reduction of H greatr than 0.6m is permitted.
i.e., No increase of W greater than 7.2m permitted.
If it is desirable from a layout point of view, W may always be safely increased without any
decrease on H, providing that:
W anchor distance
G 2W
For loops in which there is a vertical offset:

No credit may be taken if the dimensiion V is a minimum-i.e. fitting to fitting.


If V consists partly of straight pipe, the flexibility of the loop will be increased, and the
amount of this increase shall be checked by stress engineer.

8. RACK STRUCTURE (for reference)


(1) Allow sufficient rack width between columns. (Refer para.5)
(Reference example) Rack span by plant
(Unit : mm)
Type of plant

Rack span

Urea plant (6002,000 T/Y)

6000

Pitch Coke Plant

6000

Ethylene plant (200,000300,000 T/Y)

10000

Methanol, Polybuthyl, Refinery

6000 8000

(2) For conditions of rack span, decision shall be made considering the following:
1) Mutual relation with plot of each machinery
2) Relation with pipe diameter
Decision on what the minimum pipe diameter of rack piping shall be and what the allowable
bending of the minimum pipe diameter shall be.
3) Relation with pipe weight
Fluid weight of pipe, pipe weight, valve weight and insulation weight.
4) Support for special piping
Relation with piping whose support span is short, such as copper, many kinds of plastic and
glass lining pipes.
5) Relation with deflection
If deflection of pipe is too great, drainage is not good, fluid which is in the slurry state
of high boiling point produces crystals and condensible vapor such as steam and dowtherm
vapor causes water hammering.

(3) Basically, do not use assembled column for rack column.


(4) For rack column around structure or building, use columns of structure or building column
together if possible, and allow easy access from the ground.
(5) If necessary, rack shall be grounded.
(6) Rack column shall be fire proofed where necessary.
Construction method and range of fire proof shall be in accordance with the job specific
requirements.
(7) If rack is long (specially for O.S.B.L), provide one

joint

bolt slot at the beam connection at every 5060m to absorb the thermal expansion
from temperature changes.

And, do not joint the crossing rack each other.

(8) If there is expansion loop, or a lot of branch piping is expected to the unit on the rack,
indicate it on the structure planning drawing of the below form.

(9) Basically, ladders shall be installed at every 4060m of the rack considering the relation of
each area and cat way.
(10) Install bracing on the rack within the range that it does not interfere with pipe run,
operation and maintenance.

(One bracing shall be installed at least every six span of racks.)

(11) Examples of rack structure


1) 1 level rack (there is also reinforced concrete.) : L = 6 m

2) 2 level
Normal structure (number of beam is 2 : one on the upper and the other on the lower) :
L = 6 m
