PURPOSE
This procedure provides an overview of piping stress department activities, with
particular regard to the information interface with other sections and disciplines.
In addition, requirements are outlined for engineering of piping systems, with
regard to internal and external effects upon the piping and connected equipment.
Further advice regarding working practice and calculation methods is available in
Stress Analysis Working Methods, document No. 308-7080-ST-54-104.
This Corporate Document may be renumbered and revised to suit specific Project
requirements.

Other Requirements
In addition to ANSI B31.3 and its sub-references, other codes may govern the
design and installation of some parts of a piping system. Examples of pertinent
codes are:ANSI B31.1 Power Piping Code
ANSI B16.5 Steel Pipe Flanges and Fittings
ASME VIII Pressure Vessel and Boiler Code (Div.1 & Div 2)
BS 5500
Unfired Fusion Welded Pressure Vessels
BS 8010

MSS SP44
Steel Pipe Line Flanges
API RP-2A Planning, Design and Construction of Fixed Offshore Platforms
API RP-14E Design and Installation of Offshore Production Platform Piping
Systems
API RP-520 Recommended Practice for Design of Pressure Relieving Systems
API 605
Large Diameter Carbon Steel Flanges
Any such codes affecting the piping shall be noted on Stress isometrics.
Should a conflict occur between this Procedure and referred codes then the most
stringent requirements shall apply.
4.0
PROCEDURES
4.1
System of Units
The SI system of units shall normally be used. Pipe nominal diameter and wall
thickness may be expressed in English units.
4.2
4.3
Studies
The stress section shall review and comment on all piping studies that include
critical lines. The stress section may define approximate locations of major pipe
supports and restraints, including spring support locations and vessel attachments
for pipe support purposes, with the assistance of the pipe supports section.
Where appropriate, loading on equipment and superstructure shall also be
determined.
Locations of fixed and sliding ends of horizontal vessels and equipment shall be
defined where appropriate.
One print of each piping study with the issue date is required for review. This
print shall be commented upon, signed, dated and retained in stress section files.
A copy with comments shall be returned to the piping section.
4.5
Stress Isometrics
4.5.1
4.5.3
4.7
All piping G.A.'s containing critical lines shall be reviewed by the stress section
prior to issue of each revision in order to ensure that stress analysis requirements,
as shown on the stress isometrics have been incorporated in the completed design.
One print of each piping G.A. is required for review which shall be commented
upon if necessary.
Stress Calculations
The CAESAR II computer program (ref. Attachment 1) shall be used for
comprehensive stress calculations. Where less extensive calculations are
appropriate, simplified methods such as 'Spielvogel' chart form solutions, guided
cantilever approximation or visual inspection shall be used.
Flexibility analysis shall consider the most severe temperature condition found
during start-up, normal operation, shut-down, regeneration or steam-out, or any
other condition that may realistically occur. Proper consideration shall be given to
temperature excursions and operational combinations, such as those found in
multiple pumps and compressors linked to a common header.
The base case for flexibility analysis shall be "as installed", essentially stress free
with the exception of self weight. Appropriate primary and secondary stress cases
and special cases, such as settlement and dynamic or transient loads shall be
evaluated as required.
Special consideration shall be given to piping systems in the following categories.

(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
4.8

4.10

Pipe Supports
4.11.1 Issue of Pipe Support Drawings
Special supports such as those associated with rotating equipment or
attached to pressure vessels shall be carefully scrutinised with regard to
fitness for purpose.
pipe support
i)
ii)
iii)
Forces and moments at flange connections and butt weld valves (data
points located at butt welds).
iv)
The piping stress section shall review the summary report in detail to establish the
worst case loads and stresses acting at topsides data points and subsequently
confirm that any changes do not compromise the requirements of section 2.2 of
this procedure.
The piping stress section shall finally update and re-issue to pipelines department
and piping section the topsides stress isometric to reflect final load and stress data,
clearly referencing the source.
Any subsequent changes to the piping stress isometric shall be handled in
accordance with section 4.5 of this procedure and re-issued as required to
pipelines for further evaluation.
All data supplied to piping stress section by pipelines section shall be placed in
the relevant stress isometric file of the Stress Analysis Report.
5.0
DESIGN
5.1
Design Conditions
The basis of design shall be taken to be the un-deformed and stress free state, with
the exception of weight loads. Stresses and deformations due to transient and
other conditions, such as those found during load out and transportation shall be
treated as an additional design case, based on available data.
Temperatures and pressures used in stress analysis shall normally be the design
temperature and pressure as quoted in the Line List. Where this may lead to an
5.1.1 Temperature
Selection of temperature range for thermal analysis is dependent upon the
type of plant under consideration.
(i)
On-shore Plant
Where thermal displacement of the supporting structure can be
considered negligible, the base temperature for thermal analysis
shall be the installation temperature.
(ii)
Offshore Plant
The steel deck of an offshore structure will respond to thermal
changes. It may normally be assumed that structure and pipe
temperatures will be equal during construction, and the pipe will
therefore not be thermally stressed, unless some operating
condition prevails. In this case, the base temperature for thermal
analysis shall be the ambient temperature.
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
5.1.2
Pressure
Where high stress at an elbow is encountered the difference between
design and operating pressures shall be considered, since an increase
pressure tends to decrease the stress intensification factor applied. It may
be necessary to run calculations for both conditions to ensure safety.
Process conditions which may result in impulse loadings such as pressure
surge or slugging shall be identified by the Process Department and
considered in the design. The Lead Stress Engineer shall notify the process
group that this information is required on the P & ID.
5.1.3 Vibration
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
Stress Limitations
Stresses due to pressure, weight, thermal and imposed displacements, external and
occasional loads, shall meet the requirements of the relevant code listed in section
3.
5.3
External Loads
Where appropriate, environmental loads such as snow, ice and wind acting on
exposed piping shall be evaluated using project environmental data, and
appropriate National Codes. Solar radiation shall be considered in thermal
analysis of exposed piping.
In addition, the effects on piping systems of relative movements between platform
modules, module/deck deflection, platform settlement and other imposed
deflections shall be investigated where appropriate.
5.4
5.5
When evaluating the effects of piping loads upon flanged joints the following
shall be adopted.
(i)
... equation 1
... equation 2
Clamp Connectors
Where clamp connectors are used in preference to flanged joints the Lead Stress
Engineer shall liaise with the piping Materials group during the 'bid phase' to
specify the piping loads that can be accommodated by clamp connectors, oversize
hubs may be required.
5.7
5.9
5.10
5.11
Transportation Loads
Normal practice is to ensure that the modules are supported in the same place in
the yard as offshore. Lead Stress Engineer shall liaise with the Structural group to
ensure that this is implemented.

OVERVIEW OF CAESAR II
CAESAR II is a finite element program based on the direct stiffness matrix
solution method, specifically written for static and dynamic stress analysis of three
dimensional piping systems.
The program runs on PC using compiled Fortran files, which cannot be accessed
or corrupted by the user. Authorised access for use of the program is controlled
by a plug-in electronic security device (dongle).
Calculations may be performed in accordance with several Design Codes.
Full details of the program are available in the User Manual.

Drawing numbers shall be taken from the stress isometric index (ref. Critical Line
List Procedures). The Stress Isometric Index is retained, updated and issued by
