SLUG LOADING
A list of two phases flow lines is issued by Process Department. This document gives forces
(including DLF=2) to be taken into account for each line when the slug occurs.
‘The concerned lines shall be reviewed by stress and support groups to evaluate:
* Loads and support configuration

Restraint design
+ Alllchanges of pipe run direction will require a securely stop and hold down facilities.
‘+ Hold down supports shall be provided on vertical parts of pipe.
‘+ Restraints designed for slug flow will allow movements due to normal operation condition
+ Loads due to slug effect and their direction shall clearly appear on stress isometrics.
For force values to apply on piping components, use the calculation sheet:
‘7273F_slug force calculation_V1.xls
‘+ Special attention shall be given to hand over total loads (Operating + slug load ) to Civil
Work and Support Groups.
‘+ The required stiffness, if necessary, shall be transmitted to Civil Work to avoid horizontal
‘movements of structure.
Analysis
‘+ Particular analysis shall be performed on equipments where it is apparent that slug effect
will significantly increase the total loads acting on the nozzle.
+ The resultant combined calculated stresses shall not exceed the allowable values defined as
occasional case for Deadweight + Pressure + Slug ForceWIND EFFECT vy,
Wind loading shall be considered only for large lines in exposed condition (lines larger than 24"0D
or OD 600mm included insulation THK, at elevation above,10 meters.
The loading effect due to wind pressure shall be considered to calculate the stresses occurring in
the piping system and the loads acting on the restraints. (Nozzles and supports).
Wind pressure versus elevation are tabulated in table shown in Appendix IV.8. SNOWLOAD (Ws)
‘Snow loads shall be applied only for cold outside lines for which design T° is below O*C and
which are not protected by floor, equipment or others.
The hereafter calculated value (Ws) will be classed as uniform load following Y axis (Ul) in a
separate Caesar input file. See 7273F_000_CN3_CN2_1370_SAMPLE_A.

13.9 Miscellaneous
+ Donot use *+¥* type restraints (ascending movement free) in Caesar file. Supports that lit should

exceptional cases.

from suppliers or vendors shall have their weights estimated and the calculations filed. These shall
be reviewed when vendor data is avaiable.
+ Those pipe systems which are subjected to sustained high pressure's shall receive special
Consideration with respect to Bourdon pressure loading effects; as these will alter the bend

TRUNNION CALCULATION
General
‘The purpose of this document is to clarify the procedure for calculation of Trunnions, Stanchions
and Dummy legs ditectly welded to pipe.
Procedure for Line Calculated by CAESAR II Piping Stress Analysis Program
Trunnion Modelling :
‘+ Trunnions are modelled in the CAESAR Il input data of the line as a Tee.
+ For trunnion diameter see § 3.4.2
‘« Stresses are calculated in corroded condition only in the header pipe.
+ SIF ( Stress Intensification Factor) to be used:
‘Trunnions without reinforcing pad shall be input as reinforced fabricated tee, as no weakening
hole has been cut through the header pipe wall. Consequently, trunnions with reinforcing pad shall
bbe input as reinforced fabricated tee with 1.5 times the actual header pipe wall.
This intersection model in the analysis induce a more flexible intersection but a higher bending
moment and consequently a conservative stress calculation. This is a satisfactory intersection
model for standard trunnions up to 12 inches pipe diameter. See § 2 - Fig. 1.1 TRUNNION
MODELLING
For large diameter or where more flexible intersection model carry less load, and thus lower
sttesses, a more appropriate flexibility model is to be used as follows.
‘Input a rigid element from the centerline of the header pipe to its surface . The trunnion piping
starts at the end of this rigid element. There is no local flexibility due to the header added,
Stress computed for the branch, is for the point at its connection with the header. SIF Out-
plane is to be used for both in-plane and out-plane bending moment. The same SIF is to be
applied at the centerline of the header.
See §2-Fig. 1.2
If the analysis shows that the pipe may be overstressed, a more rigorous analysis by FE/PIPE.
program is performed.
Stanchions and Dummy Legs in Bends
Modelling
+ Input a rigid element from the centerline of the bend pipe to its surface . The trunnion piping
starts at the end of this rigid element. There is no local flexibility due to the bend added, Stress
computed for the branch, is for the point at its connection with the bend,
* For teunnion diameter see § 3.4.2
+ Stresses are calculated in corroded condition only in the header pipe.

3.4.1
= ass sevommenaea in CABSAR Il, Si Out-plane is to be applied for both in-plane and out-
plane bending moment of trunnion at the bend connection .
If the analysis shows that the pipe may be overstressed, a more rigorous analysis by FE/PIPE,
program is performed.
See § 1.as an Example.
Remark :
= The stress due to axial force in stanchion is not intensified in CAESAR calculation (as per
B31.3 Code ). As calculated with Finite Element Analysis program the stresses induced by
axial force are not important for standard stanchion .
+ The modelling indicated in § 1 induced a bending moment from axial force in the bend due to
the offset introduced to modelled the trunnion and the pipe exactly along the same axis. This is
‘conservative and may be a reason to model the stanchion in other way as indicated in
CAESAR USER’ S GUIDE.
Design Method Using TABLE 1 (see § 4.4.1 ) for Line Not Calculated by CAESAR II Piping
Stress Analysis Program.
This procedure is to be applied for standard trunnions welded to pipe, stanchions and dummy leg
supports welded to bend.
This procedure is designed to check trunnion loads by comparison with the allowable values
calculated for all standards trunnions.
See page 17 as an example.
‘When Line Temperature exceeds 343°C (650°F) consult Stress Engineer.
For special case or where a pad is required the detail procedure should be applied,
Detailed Procedure to Check Local Stress in Pipe Wall for Non Standard Trunnions and or
Combined Piping Reactions (KELLOGG’s Method)
Size Trunnion
In general material for trunnion should be of the same as the pipe.
‘The minimum nominal size is one half the nominal pipe size. The use of reinforcing pad should be
avoided. Prefer the use of two trunnions or a larger one in diameter.
Do not use thicker trunnion to reduce the stress, this may cause higher local stress in pipe
stress analysis section to redesign the trunnion . Prefer to increase the trunnion diameter,
‘The method is derived from KELLOGG's Method "Design of Piping System™

account that the two anchor might respond in different modes during an earthquake.

‘movements. Suitable limit stops shall be provided to restrict this movement in case of a seismic
shock
+ Piping going through bund walls, building walls and floors shall be provided with sleeves large
enough to allow for the anticipated differential movements due to seismic loadings.
+ Where additional restraints are required to give protection from seismic loads, these shall be
provided by the use of conventional supports :
* Guides and anchors,
+ Hold down retraining the pipe against jumping in case of seismic shock
+ Shock arrestors shall be kept to @ minimum
* Spring supports shall be kept to a minimum
