    There are two types of loads that act on piping systems: static loads and dynamic loads. Static loads include weight, pressure, hydrostatic loads, thermal loads, and loads due to settlement. Dynamic loads include seismic loads, wind loads, slug force, pressure safety valve force, water hammer, and vibration. There are four basic load cases considered in piping stress analysis: 1) hydrostatic loading, 2) operating loading, 3) sustained loading, and 4) expansion loading. The sustained loading case induces primary stresses from weight and pressure. The expansion loading case induces secondary stresses from thermal expansion.

    Loads on Piping System & Basic Load Cases


    There are two types of loads which acts on piping system

    a. Static load
    b. Dynamic loads

    Static loads – Weight & Pressure, hydrostatic load, Thermal loads, Loads due to
    Settlement.

    Dynamic loads – Seismic, Wind, Slug-force, PSV-force, Water hammer & Vibration.
    Basic Load Cases considered in Piping Stress Analysis
    1. Hydrostatic Loading case
    Hydrostatic loading condition – WW+HP
    WW- Weight filled weight, HP- Hydrotest pressure

    2. Operating Loading case


    Operating loading condition – W+T1+P1
    W- Dead weight of the system, T1- Max. design temperature, P1- Max. design pressure

    3. Sustained Loading case (Induce primary stresses)


    Sustained loading condition – W+P1 (temperature independent) takes ambient
    temperature. (W+P1+Ta) only weight of pipe & design pressure considered
    W- Dead weight of the system, P1- Max. design pressure, Ta- Ambient temperature

    4. Expansion Loading case (Induce Secondary stresses)


    Expansion loading condition – (W+T1+P1) - (W+P1)
    (Temperature dependent) only temperature of pipe considered in this case
    W- Dead weight of the system, T1- Max. design temperature, P1- Max. design pressure
    DISCUSSION 8 03-12-2022

    Actual working of expansion load case as follows


    (W+T1+P1) - (W+P1) which means (W+T1+P1-W-P1- Ta)
    Expansion case = (T1- Ta)

    Note:
    Primary stresses (Sustained stresses) which are developed by the imposed loading.
    • Primary stresses are not self- limiting
    • Following lists are the loads which induced primary stresses:
    • Pressure
    • Weight

    Secondary stresses are developed by the constraint of displacements


    • These displacements can be caused either by thermal expansion or by imposed
    restraint and anchor point movements
    • Secondary stresses are self-limiting
