Stress Analysis Report for Pipeline Lowering  

 
Subject :  Stress analysis study to be done for the maximum span for lifting the pipeline to  
                   Lowering down in the trench. 
 
Consideration :  
 
Stress Analysis Study has been done for the pipe line 16” thk 9.525 mm for the lowering down 
in the trench with below details. 

Pipe Material      =  API 5L X 60 

Pipe Size & Thk    =  16 " ; 9.525 (mm) Thk 

Ambient temp     =  21 Deg C / 66 Deg F 

Solar Radiation temp    =  72 Deg C / 160 deg F 

Pipe weight ‐Empty (W)  =  93.27 Kg/m 

Modulus of Elasticity (E)  =  2039920.26 kg/cm2 

Allowable Stress (S)    =  3796.35 kg/cm2 

Moment of Inertia (I)    =  23410 kg/cm2 

Section Modulus (Z)    =  1152 cm3 

Trench height                            =           1.5 M 

Pipeline distance from             =           4.0 M 
trench center 
 
 
Conclusion : 

Below are the results of case study with 48 M span  

1. Highest Stresses   = 2053.68 kg/cm2                  Allowable Stresses =  3796.35   kg/cm2        
Ratio (%):               = 54.1 %        
 
2. Maximum Deflection = 375 mm 
 
As per the stress analysis study every  48 m span shall be followed for the lifting / lowering  
the pipe in the trench .   

Refer attachement 01 for the stresses generated in the pipeline system. 

Refer attachement 02 for graphical presentation for before and after installation.
