19 A. WALL THICKNESS
20 Grade API 5LB PSL 2 GR. BR
21 SMYS of Line Pipe S 35000 psi
22 Wall Thickness Calculated tmin 0.293 in
23 tmin = P x D / (2 x S x F x E x T) + A
24 Selceted Wall Thickness t 0.375 in (Sch. STD)
25 D/t Check ( Should be < 96) 96 OK

27 B. EQUIVALENT STRESS CHECK FOR CORRODED PIPE CONDITION
28 Wall thickness (t) 0.375 in
29 Hoop Stress = Sh = PD/2t 13680.0 psi
30
31 B.1 Restrained Pipe (Underground)
32 Thermal Stress = ST = a (Ti - Td) E 5616.0 psi
33 Longitudinal Stress due to pressure = SP = 0.3 Sh 4104.0 psi
34
35 Longitudinal Stress, SL
36 SL = SP + ST + SB + SX (≤ 0.9 x SMYS) 31500 psi
37
38 Without considering SB (Bending stress) and SX (Axial stress due to external loading):
39 SL = S P + S T 9720.0 psi
40 Longitudinal Stress check : SL ≤ 0.9 x SMYS hence OK
41
42 Equivalent Stress, SE
43 SE1 = | Sh - SL | 3960.0 psi
44 SE2 = [ Sh2 + SL2 - Sh SL ]1/2 12192.3 psi
45 SE = Max (SE1, SE2) 12192.3 psi
46 Equivalent Stress check : SE ≤ 0.9 x SMYS hence OK
47
48 B.2 Unrestrained Pipe (Aboveground)
49 Longitudinal Stress due to pressure = SP = 0.5 Sh 6840.0 psi
50
51 Longitudinal Stress, SL
52 SL = SP +SB + SX (≤ 0.75 x SMYS) 26250 psi
53 Without considering SB (Bending stress) and SX (Axial stress due to external loading):
54 SL = S P 6840.0 psi
55 Longitudinal Stress check : SL ≤ 0.75 x SMYS hence OK
