Introduction
1.1
Definition of of Pi Piping Pipe is a pressure tight cylinder used to convey a fluid or to transmit a fluid pressure, ordinarily designated designated pipe in applicable material specifications. specifications. Materials designated designated tube or tubing in the specifications are treated as pipe when intended intended for pressure service. Piping is an assembly of piping components used to convey, distribute, mix, separate, discharge, meter, control control or snub fluid flows. Piping also includes pipe-supporting pipe-supporting elements but does not include support structures, such as building frames, bents, foundations, foundations, or any equipment excluded from Code definitions. Piping components are mechanical elements suitable suitable for joining or assembly into pressure-tight fluid containing piping piping systems. Components include include pipe, tubing, fittings, flanges, gaskets, bolting, valves and devices such as expansion joints, f lexible joints, pressure hoses, traps, strainers, in-line portions of instruments and separators. Piping is typically round.

of piping and piping components.

Failure Me Mechanisms Piping and piping components may fail if inadequately designed, by a number of different mechanisms. These failures, in the majority majority of cases are either either load controlled or displacement controlled failures.
Pipe rupture due to overpressure Bending failure in pipe span Elbow cracking after 10 years of service, 5000 cycles of heat up to 500 F On heat up, a line comes into contact with adjacent header which is at ambient temperature During startup on a cold winter day in Grande Prairie, an outdoor gas line located above grade and constructed to Z662 is suddenly subjected to full li ne pressure and ruptures. A 12” Sch.40 header, bottom supported, 40 feet long runs vertically up a tower and connects to a nozzle. nozzle. On steam out of the vessel, a 1’ deflection is observed in the the pipe and remains after the steam out procedure is completed and the pipe returns to ambient temperature. A header of a reciprocating compressor has been stressed checked; during operation vibration vibration is observed in the line. During the unit turnaround, turnaround, cracking is found at midspan in the wrought piping material. A stress check determines that a hot, high alloy line does not pass the flexibility flexibili ty requirements per B31 B31.3. .3. Twenty-five cycles are expected expected over the lifetime of the line.

Code Code Cons Consid ide erati ration ons s for for De Des sign ign Design of piping systems is governed governed by Codes. All codes have a common theme, they are intended to set forth engineering requirements requirements deemed necessary for safe design and construction of piping i nstallations. The Codes are not intended to apply to the operation, examination, inspection, testing, maintenance or repair repair of piping that has been placed in service. service. The Codes do not prevent the User from applying the provisions of the Codes for those purposes. Engineering requirements of the Codes, while considered necessary and adequate for safe design, generally generally use a simplified approach. A designer capable capable of applying a more rigorous analysis shall have the latitude to do so, but must be able to demonstrate the validity of such analysis.
Design Conditions Design conditions refer to the operating and design temperature and pressure that the piping system will operate at over the course of its design life.

Practical Piping Course Design Loads The Codes prescribe minimum rules for fo r stress conditions and alert the designer explicitly to some of the loadings likely to act on a system. In addition to the previous listing, most of the Codes specify design rules for:
Occasional loads such as wind & earthquake External pressure The Codes caution the designer to consider the effect of other loadings and their impact on the stress state of the system:
impact events (hydraulic shock, liquid & solid slugging, flashing, transients) auto- refrigeration, seasonal temperature variations vibration discharge reactions temperature gradients bi-metallic connections
effects of support & restraint movements cyclic effects The Codes do not explicitly alert the designer to other loadings which may cause failure in the piping system, including:
buckling (shell & column) nozzle loadings on attached equipment, such as pumps, compressors, engines pressure vessels steam generating equipment fired heaters heat exchangers loadings on in-line equipment such as flanges, valves, filters, strainers

Practical Piping Course Brittle Fracture
Brittle fracture refers to the often catastrophic failure of materials when subjected to stresses at a lower temperature which the materially would normally be able to withstand at higher temperatures. A “transition temperature” can be defined at the 13.5, 20, 27 J (10, 15, 20 ft-lb) f t-lb) energy level. Charpy test resutls for steel plate obtained from failures of Liberty ships revealed that plate failure never occurred at temperatures greater than the 20-J (15 ft-lb) transition temperatue. This transition temperature varies with the material and is not used as a criterion.
