• ISOMETRICS
• Only solids have a coefficient of linear expansion. They differ from each
other widely, with the coefficient of linear expansion of aluminium having a
value nearly 50 times as great as that of fused quartz.
STRESS ANALYSIS & SUPPORTS
Most materials expand as they are heated and contract if they are cooled. Thus their length
is a function of temperature. If the length of an object is L and the temperature changes by
a differential amount dT, then the differential change in the length dL is given by:
dL =
STRESS ANALYSIS & SUPPORTS
• Suppose that we have two vessels, T-1 and T-2, say 50 m. apart and that we have to
run a pipe from T-1 to T-2 between two nozzles at the same elevation. Obviously, the
most economical way of doing this from the purely ’Piping’ aspect would be to join
them with a straight pipe as shown in fig. 1 below.
Now further suppose that everything is in carbon steel and the vessel T-1 has its
temperature raised to 150° C. When the valve ‘A’ is opened, there will be an expansion
between the centres of T-1 and T-2 which can be found as follows

• Now further suppose that everything is in carbon steel and the vessel T-1 has its
temperature raised to 150° C. When the valve ‘A’ is opened, there will be an
expansion between the centres of T-1 and T-2 which can be found as follows.
Expansion rate for carbon steel at 150°C= 1.5mm/m. (This value is taken
from ANSI
B31.3 Table 319.3.1A)
Therefore Expansion = 1.5 x 50 = 75 mm.
If the vessels are comparatively thin and the pipe of large diameter so that it can
withstand a high load before buckling, then the first case applies and the vessel walls
will bend inwards to accommodate the 75mm expansion; if, on the other hand, the
vessels are thick and the pipe of small diameter, the alternative condition shown in fig. 3
will occur.

STRESS ANALYSIS & SUPPORTS
• What is Stress?
• Resistance to the force acting across a unit area.
STRESS ANALYSIS & SUPPORTS
• Elastic Limit
• The elastic limit is the limit beyond which the material will no longer go back to its
original shape when the load is removed, or it is the maximum stress that may e
developed such that there is no permanent or residual deformation when the load is
entirely removed.
• SUPPORTS
• Supports as the name suggests are elements / members that serve to support the
pipe.

PIPING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION & M.T.O
• The line wise M.T.O sheets are prepared and consolidation of the M.T.O is done
manually / using computer software
• The 1st M.T.O is based on:
• Unit plot plan
• Major piping layouts
• Process P & IDs, line list, utility P & IDs issued for 1st M. T.O.
• M.T.O standards
• Piping classes issued for 1st M.T.O
