Stress Results - Notes

- Results in this analysis were generated using the finite


element solution method.

- Using pre 07 ASME Section VIII Division 2

- Assume free end displacements of attached pipe


(e.g. thermal loads) are secondary within the limits
of nozzle reinforcement.

- Use Stress Intensity (TRESCA).

- Include S1+S2+S3 evaluation for operating stress.


Include S1+S2+S3 evaluation in primary case evaluation.
Assume bending stress not local primary for S1+S2+S3.

- Use local tensor values for averaged and not


averaged stresses.

- PRIMARY STRESSES are similar to the B31 code "sustained"


stresses. Primary stresses contain the effects due to weight,
pressure and other sustained loads. The primary limit for
this stress is based on collapse of the local cross section
or excessive local strain.

- SECONDARY (PL+PB+Q) STRESS has no direct equal in a B31 code.


This stress requirement is intended to insure that sig-
nificant inelastic behavior only occurs for the first few
loading cycles, and only over a fairly small region of the
model. "Small" is on the order of the square root of Rt,
where (R) is the radius of the header and (t) is the
thickness of the header. Secondary stresses do not include
the effect of peak stress concentration factors such as occur
at fillets, welds or notches.

- PEAK STRESSES are equivalent to the B31 code "expansion"


stresses. In the peak stress report, the user will find the
equivalent B31 allowable computed from: f[1.25(Sc+Sh)].

- The LOCAL STRESS calculations performed herein are in accord-


ance with ASME VIII Div 2, Part 5, elastic calculations, and
ASME Section III Subsection NB. These methods have been used
extensively in the nuclear piping industry, and have been
shown to be in consistant agreement with the B31 piping codes
when the simplifying assumptions made in the B31 codes are
employed.

- The B31 Code Stress Calculations performed herein are in


accordance with the method outlined in NUREG/CR-3243 and
(ORNL/Sub/82-22252/1). This paper shows the relationship
between the fatigue evaluation methods used in the B31 codes
and the class 1,2 and 3 nuclear piping codes.

- When the number of design cycles is less than 7000, (which is


the default), the B31 user is cautioned against using a
smaller number of design cycles to satisfy the intersection
allowables unless he is sure that the material can easily
undergo significant peak plastic deformation without crack
propagation.

- Thru-the-wall temperature effects may be important when the


temperature difference is high. The stress resulting from the
difference is independant of the thickness. Users should
estimate and enter this difference if available.

- Membrane stresses are the stresses averaged thru the wall of


the component. Secondary and Peak stresses are those that are
maximums at the outer fiber of the local cross section due
primarily to plate or shell type bending at the nozzle or
discontinuity.

The above stress intensification factors are to be used


in a beam-type analysis of the piping system. Inplane,
Outplane and Torsional sif's should be used with the
matching branch pipe whose diameter and thickness is given
below. The axial sif should be used to intensify the
axial stress in the branch pipe calculated by F/A. The
pressure sif should be used to intensify the nominal
pressure stress in the PARENT or HEADER, calculated
from PDo/2T. B31 calculations use mean diameters and
Section VIII calculations use outside diameters. SSIs are
based on peak stress factors and correlated test results.

B31.3 Branch Pressure i-factor = 11.055


Header Pressure i-factor = 2.362

The B31.3 pressure i-factors should be used with with


F/A, where F is the axial force due to pressure, and
A is the area of the pipe wall. This is equivalent to
finding the pressure stress from (ip)(PD/4T).

allowed values of the respective loads if all other


load components are zero, i.e. the listed axial force
may be applied if the inplane, outplane and torsional
moments, and the pressure are zero.

2) The Conservative Allowable Simultaneous loads are


the maximum loads that can be applied simultaneously.
A conservative stress combination equation is used
that typically produces stresses within 50-70% of the
allowable stress.

3) The Realistic Allowable Simultaneous loads are the


maximum loads that can be applied simultaneously. A
more realistic stress combination equation is used
based on experience at Paulin Research. Stresses are
typically produced within 80-105% of the allowable.

4) Secondary allowable loads are limits for expansion


and operating piping loads.

5) Primary allowable loads are limits for weight,


primary and sustained type piping loads.

Flexibilities $X

The following stiffnesses should be used in a piping,


"beam-type" analysis of the intersection. The stiff-
nesses should be inserted at the surface of the
branch/header or nozzle/vessel junction. The general
characteristics used for the branch pipe should be:

Outside Diameter = 6.625 in.


Wall Thickness = 0.307 in.

Axial Translational Stiffness = 521970. lb./in.


Inplane Rotational Stiffness = 248324. in.lb./deg
Outplane Rotational Stiffness = 87256. in.lb./deg
Torsional Rotational Stiffness = 6953082. in.lb./deg

Intersection Flexibility Factors for Branch/Nozzle

Find axial stiffness: K = 3EI/(kd)^3 lb./in.


Find bending and torsional stiffnesses: K = EI/(kd) in.lb.per radian.
The EI product is 0.89905E+09 lb.in.^2
The value of (d) to use is: 6.318 in..
The resulting bending stiffness is in units of force x length per radian.

Axial Flexibility Factor (k) = 2.736


Inplane Flexibility Factor (k) = 10.001
Outplane Flexibility Factor (k) = 28.463
Torsional Flexibility Factor (k) = 0.357
