Combined Stress Modules

CALCULATOR MODULE : Pipeline Combined Stress Check   ±

Calculate pipeline longitudinal stress, Tresca combined stress, and Von Mises equivalent stress checks. Hoop stress is calculated using either Barlow's equation (suitable for thin wall pipes), the log equation (suitable for thick wall pipes), or Lame's equation (suitable for thick wall pipes).

The axial load is calculated using the thick wall formula (API RP 1111 and DNV OS F101). For onshore and offshore pipelines the internal pressure is assumed zero during installation. For offshore pipelines, the external pressure is assumed constant for installation and operation. For onshore pipelines external pressure should be ignored. The design factor should include all relevant factors (eg quality factor E and stress factor F etc).

CALCULATOR MODULE : API RP 1111 Pipeline Combined Loading   ±

Calculate API RP 1111 limit state pipeline combined loading check.

For the external pressure check, the external pressure should be calcuated for the maximum water depth (highest astronomical tide plus storm surge). The internal pressure should be the maximum sustainable pressure (normally zero).

For the axial load check, the axial load can be calculated for either fully constrained pipeline, unconstrained pipeline, or user defined loads.

CALCULATOR MODULE : AS 2885.1 Pipeline Combined Stress   ±

Calculate AS 2885.1 pipeline longitudinal stress and combined stress.

The stress check can be performed for longitudinal stress, Tresca stress and von Mises equivalent stress. Pipe axial load can be calculated for fully restrained pipe, unrestrained pipe, user defined external or global load, and user defined wall load. Bending moment can be calculated for in plane bending, out of plane bending, or combined in plane and out of plane bending. The stress concentration factors ii, io and it can be used for in plane, out of plane and torsion shear stress in pipe fittings. For straight pipe ii, io and it equal one.
