SAFE DISTANCE CALCULATION HYDROTEST

As per rules for Pressure testing Lloyds register (96-02)

Calculation of minimum safety distance for pressure testing (LLOYDS Register 96-02)
form T-0240 sections 3.3 (fluid)

L = 0.15 x D x α 0.4 x (P / ∛ρ)0.6

L Minimum Safety Distance, Meter

D Internal diameter, Meter
P Test Pressure, Bar
ρ Density of Test fluid, Water , 1000 kg/m3
Safety Factor, Length of System/Internal
α
Diameter.
l Length of System

Safe Distance Calculation for Riser’s combined:

Riser Combined Length: l = 257.301 meter

L Minimum Safety Distance, Meter = ?

D Internal diameter, Meter = 0.3686 m
P Test Pressure, Bar = 115.5 bar
ρ Density of Test fluid, Water , 1000 kg/m3
Safety Factor, Length of System/Internal
α
Diameter.
l Length of System = 257.301 m

L = 0.15 x D x α 0.4 x (P / ∛ρ)0.6

L = 0.15 x 0.3686 x (257.30 / 0.3686)0.4 x (115.5 / ∛1000/1000)0.6

L = 13.11 meter
Safe Distance Calculation for Spool-1 combined:

Spool-1 Combined Length: l = 121.722 meter

L Minimum Safety Distance, Meter = ?

D Internal diameter, Meter = 0.3686 m
P Test Pressure, Bar = 115.5 bar
ρ Density of Test fluid, Water , 1000 kg/m3
Safety Factor, Length of System/Internal
α
Diameter.
l Length of System = 121.722 m

L = 0.15 x D x α 0.4 x (P / ∛ρ)0.6

L = 0.15 x 0.3686 x (121.722 / 0.3686)0.4 x (115.5 / ∛1000/1000)0.6

L = 9.72 meter.

Safe Distance Calculation for Spool-2 combined:

Spool-2 Combined Length: l = 95.05 meter

L Minimum Safety Distance, Meter = ?

D Internal diameter, Meter = 0.3686 m
P Test Pressure, Bar = 115.5 bar
ρ Density of Test fluid, Water , 1000 kg/m3
Safety Factor, Length of System/Internal
α
Diameter.
l Length of System = 95.05 m

L = 0.15 x D x α 0.4 x (P / ∛ρ)0.6

L = 0.15 x 0.3686 x (95.05 / 0.3686)0.4 x (115.5 / ∛1000/1000)0.6

L = 8.81 meter.
