5.0 OUTLINE EXECUTION
Contractor is responsible for the mechanical integrity of all the designed piping systems. Contractor
shall demonstrate the above by under taking and providing the following requirements:
5.1 REVIEW OF PROJECT ENGINEERING DATA
Contractor shall review the Piping and instrument Diagrams, Line Classification List and the Basic
Engineering Data Sheets for potential piping design problems and inconsistencies. Particular care shall
be taken in the review of the Line Classification List, which forms the basic design document for all
piping systems stress analysis.
5.2 STRESS CRITICAL LINE LIST AND APPROVAL INDEX.
Contractor shall prepare and provide the Stress Critical Line List.
This is a summary and status document of all the lines requiring formal analysis, whether by computer
or other means.
Contractor shall prepare and complete a Line Stress Approval Index in order to establish that all the
above lines and stress related components ( including elements such as support springs ) have been
examined, checked and approved by Contractors Stress Engineer.
5.3 EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATION
Contractor shall review and ( as necessary ) comment on equipment standards / specification where
these form part of the piping system analysis. ( e.g. heavy duty base plates on pumps, all heat exchanger
nozzles to have reinforcing pads, compressor nozzle loading 3.70 x NEMA as a minimum ).
5.4 INITIAL FLEXIBILITY CHECKS
The initial flexibility checks may be carried out by Contractor using recognised graphical means as
nomographs and/or related charts, with particular attention being given to those lines contained within
the project Critical Line List.
Lines on this list should have specific stress input during routing.
5.5 FORMAL ANALYSIS
As a minimum, formal flexibility analysis shall be undertaken on lines (including terminations) as

defined in the Critical Line List.
For the formal flexibility analysis CAESAR-II Ver. 4.50 software shall be used.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 9 / 51

5.6 EQUIPMENT NOZZLE LOADING
Contractor shall ensure the suitability of piping loads at the equipment nozzles (or equipment skid
interfaces) and the support locations for inclusion in their overall design.
Piping loads applied at the nozzles of Columns / Vessels / Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers / Drums /
Reactors and Equipment etc. shall not exceed the limits specified in ATTACHMENT-10. In case the
loads are exceeded, a WRC-107 / WRC-297 check shall be carried out to determine the magnitude of
the nozzle stresses. If the check is found to be acceptable, then the loads shall be submitted to Static/
Mechanical Department for Vendor approval.
5.7 CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL LOADING
Contractor shall ensure the suitability and co-ordination of the design and structural loading for pipe
support foundations required by all relevant civil and structural works.
Any piping loads in excess of 500 Kgf acting horizontally and/or 2000Kgf acting vertically shall be
issued to Civil Department for their review and incorporation into design of structural members.
5.8 INTERFACE PIPING
Contractor shall liaise, agree and formalise design basis at other contractor battery limits, packaged unit
limits and at PetroVietnam interfaces. This includes piping, services and ductwork designed by others.
Vendor shall be asked to provide an anchor at the battery limit. In case it is impractical then Vendor
shall provide design movements at the battery limit. All calculated loads at the battery limit shall
comply with the limits specified in ATTACHMENT-10.
6.0 ORGANISATION
Contractor shall perform all stress calculation work employing highly competent stress engineers
experienced in similar work and projects. In general, the personnel shall be in a group (task force)
environment with the piping design team.
7.0 BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Stress analysis forms an integral part of piping engineering, and as such, Contractor shall report
progress and other prescribed administrative matters to representatives of, or directly to PetroVietnam.
8.0 GUIDELINES FOR STRESS ANALYSIS
8.1 INTRODUCTION
8.1.1 The Contractor shall ensure that piping systems are safe for all specified design
conditions. These guidelines are concerned with the piping flexibility aspect of this
function, other related activities include piping design for pressure containment.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 10 / 51

8.1.2 This standard, by emphasising the need for demonstrating engineering integrity, does
not seek to restrict the use of sound engineering judgement based on experience.
Computer usage should be resorted to where accurate assessment of loading and
stresses are essential for line approval or where an alternative (recognised) method of
calculation, as identified in this procedure, would be more costly in terms of time or
resources. Where computer calculation is used, consideration shall be given to the
form of input data, which must give verifiable results within the completed calculation
report.
8.1.3 The piping flexibility and stress calculation results should be clearly identified and
documented for subsequent audit by either PetroVietnam or by a third party.
8.2 GENERAL
8.2.1 Piping systems may be subjected to many diverse load conditions. Stresses induced by
pressure, weight of pipe, equipment vibration, fittings and fluids, external loadings
such as wind loads, seismic loads, settlement, solar/frost temperature effects and
thermal expansion and contraction are significant in the stress analysis of piping
systems. Generally most piping movements are due to thermal expansion, but all the
above criteria shall be taken into consideration during stress analysis.
8.2.2 Piping systems shall be designed to be adequately flexible and wherever possible this
should be achieved by the natural flexibility of the pipe work. If necessary, the route of
the piping should be modified ( or expansion loops incorporated ) in order to obtain
sufficient flexibility. Only in exceptional cases where it is impractical to increase the
system flexibility ( to reduce the stress range to an acceptable level or to reduce
equipment loading ) should an expansion joint or similar be considered as for a design
solution. The use of expansion joints shall require the prior written approval of
PetroVietnam.
8.2.3 When carrying out a flexibility analysis, the worst process design conditions shall be
considered, including steam-out. Practical engineering judgement shall be used to
decide the worst load case scenario and consideration must be given to running the
worst load case. Process conditions which give rise to impulse loading such as
pressure surge, relief discharge reaction or two phase flow shall also be taken into
account.
8.2.4 Strain sensitive equipment ( vessels, heat exchangers, reactors, tanks, pumps and
compressors ) at which pipe systems terminate shall be considered rigid for pipe stress
analysis. The loads shall be calculated at the vessel nozzle / shell interface for all
classes of equipment with the exception of rotating machines, where the nozzle is
recommended for inclusion within the pipe work analysis and treated as rigid.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 11 / 51

8.2.4.1 The acceptance or approval of nozzle loads shall be the responsibility

of Contractors Specialist Equipment Engineer.
8.2.4.2 In the case of tanks, the nozzle loads shall be referred to Contractors
Specialist Vessel Engineer for review. Design shall follow the
requirements of API 650 unless otherwise stated within the listed
documents. ( ATTACHMENT-10 )
8.2.4.3 In all cases Contractor shall be responsible for the structural integrity
of piping flanges. Flange leakage calculations shall be performed as
required by the relevant Code.
In a piping system, a flanged joint is subject to internal pressure, axial
force and bending moment that may cause the joint to leak rendering
the joint to be ineffective. Flange leakage shall be assessed as follows :
The Total pressure PT = Peq + PD
400 F M
The Equivalent pressure Peq = + 1600000
G 2 G 3
Where Peq = Equivalent pressure due to pipe loading
only (kgf/cm)
F = Axial force acting at the flange(kgf)
M = Bending moment acting at the flange
(kgf-m)
G = Effective gasket diameter (mm)
PD = Design pressure (kgf/cm)
PT = Total pressure (kgf/cm)
For critical flange joints the total pressure PT Pressure Limit of the
flange as per ASME B16.5.
In case the total pressure calculated as above exceeds the pressure limit
as per ASME B16.5 then the flange shall be checked according to
ASME Sec. VIII formulae using the CAESAR-II module.
Pipe routing and supporting shall be revised if both the checks result in
a failure.
8.2.4.4 Piping connected to machinery shall be flexible to ensure that the

piping loads transmitted to the machine are acceptable under all design
conditions.
8.2.4.5 Boundary conditions at other Contractor or PetroVietnam interfaces

must be clearly defined before detail commencement of design work.
This should include, but is not limited to, the movements, forces and
pipe support provisions at boundaries. See also paragraph 5.8.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 12 / 51

9.0 ANALYSIS REQUIREMENTS
9.1 GENERAL
The extent of analysis stipulated in Attachments 1, 2 and 3 of the FEED Document No. 6960-8230-SP-
0004 is further expanded in ATTACHMENT-9 to cover all wall thickness schedules based on the
specification for Piping Material.
9.1.1 Visual inspection or approximate calculation methods may be applied only if they are
used in the range of configuration for which their adequacy has been demonstrated.
Approximate calculations may include the use of approved charts, nomographs and
simplified formulae. The objective of using these methods is to demonstrate that
recourse to more precise methods is not required.
9.1.2 Acceptable comprehensive methods of analyses include computer and analytical

methods, which include stress intensification and flexibility factors for all components
other than pipe, and provide an evaluation of the forces moments and stresses caused
by piping displacement.
9.2 VISUAL, CHART OR INFORMAL CHECKING METHODS
9.2.1 Piping flexibility can be checked by visual inspection and the use of approved
reference charts e.g. stress nomograph, expansion loop charts, or analogy. Piping loads
on equipment shall be avoided by adding suitable guides, restraints and/or anchors.
9.2.2 At pumps having end suction nozzles it may be possible to restrain/anchor the piping
close to the pump. However this restraint/anchor should not be more than 1.0 metre
from the fixed point of the pump casing and should be designed such that adjustment
can be made when bolting the pipe flange to the pump nozzle. Loads on the
restraint/anchor must be minimised by the location of guides further upstream e.g. in
the pipe rack. This design option should be used with care as poor support
specification and installation can generate large forces.
9.2.3 Piping which connects the tube bundles of air cooler exchangers can be checked and
the terminal loads evaluated usually by basic hand calculations. Loadings on structures
can be estimated by approximate methods. Computer analysis may be necessary in the
following cases:
9.2.3.1 Where items of equipment are particularly strain-sensitive, e.g.

compressors and very thin walled vessels.
9.2.3.2 For large pipes, diameters greater than 24 NPS.
9.2.3.3 Where movements are large ,particularly when due to extraneous

causes e.g. differential settlement of foundations, overhead lines rising
with tower expansion.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 13 / 51

9.3 COMPREHENSIVE METHODS OF ANALYSIS
9.3.1 Before resorting to formal calculations and computer analysis, check that the proposed
piping configuration is approximately correct by visual appraisal and by reference to an
approximate method. If the stress in the pipe itself is the only criterion, further
calculation may be unnecessary, but care must be taken, as the presence of components
subject to intensified local stresses such as branches, and reduced size piping may
cause stresses in excess of those suggested by the nomograph.
In general, computer analysis will be required for that listed below. The listing is not
intended to be exhaustive and address every eventuality, however an experienced,
engineering judgement shall prevail.
9.3.1.1 Lines connected to strain sensitive equipment to evaluate the

magnitude of the terminal loads with accuracy for final review by the
specialist Engineers. Engineering judgement shall be used to decide as
to which equipment should be treated as strain sensitive.
9.3.1.2 Rotating equipment with nozzles 2 NPS and above with a design
temperature of 80 C and above.
9.3.1.3 Large diameter ( 24 NPS and above ) or heavy wall pipes, and also
lines with design conditions for ferrous and alloy piping above 350 C
and for Stainless Steel above 270 C.
9.3.1.4 Thin walled vessels (e.g. corroded thickness less than 5mm) with a
design temperature of 80 C and above.
9.3.1.5 Heat exchangers with a design temperature of 80 C and above.
9.3.1.6 Piping systems operating at temperatures minus 40 C and below.
9.3.1.7 All piping with a wall thickness greater than standard weight,
considered on its individual case.
9.3.1.8 Where movements are large due to extraneous causes, e.g. differential
settlement of foundation, etc.
9.3.1.9 Piping which connects together the tube bundles of air-cooled

exchangers.
9.3.1.10 Lines subject to large displacements imposed on them by the

movements of other lines or equipment to which they are connected,
even though they may be below the limits recommended.
9.3.1.11 Jacketed pipe work.
Refer to ATTACHMENT-9 for the detailed selection of Critical Lines.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 14 / 51

9.3.2 Computer Analysis - Normally, the computer input should include the following
information:
9.3.2.1 Physical characteristics of the piping and fluid contained.
9.3.2.2 Rate of expansion.
9.3.2.3 Terminal movements.
9.3.2.4 Details of restraints, including fixed supports, which will significantly

affect vertical movement of the pipe.
9.3.3 Computer analysis for lines, which are likely to impose significant loads on equipment,
are to include all relevant effects (e.g. pressure, weight, and thermal expansion).
However, it shall be noted that the computer analysis normally treats nozzle
connections as rigid anchors so that very small deflections of pipe between supports
may cause indicated bending moments at the nozzle which, in practice, will disappear
with very small rotations.
9.3.4 The interpretation of computed forces and moments must take account of the
movements from which they originate and a distinction must be made between loadings
which are sustained over a large range of movement and can cause gross distortion, and
secondary loading which cause only minor strains.
10.0 DETAIL STRESSING CONSIDERATIONS
10.1 TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS
10.1.1 The Line Classification List indicates for each line a design temperature and an
operating temperature. Stress analysis shall be carried out on the basis of the design
temperature. In instances where the design temperature is exceptionally high when
compared with the operating temperature, stress engineer should establish the mode of
operation at the higher temperature and the extent to which the system is affected.
Minimum Ambient Temp. ( TAMIN ) = 16C ( For Stress Range Purpose )

Maximum Ambient Temp. ( TAMAX ) = 36C ( For Stress Range Purpose )
Maximum Solar Radiation Temp. ( TS ) = 70C
Site Installation Temp = 21C
Line design temperatures shall be as per the respective Process Line Lists.
Note: The ASME Code B31.3 does not permit an increase in allowable stresses in the piping for short-
term variations above the normal design temperature. However, it may be possible to allow higher loads
on equipment especially if that equipment is not itself subject to the higher temperature.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 15 / 51

10.1.2 Steam Tracing - Tracing can cause the temperature of the line to rise above normal,
during periods when the line is empty or when no flow occurs. Piping design must take
this into account when calculating movements.
10.1.3 Steam Out - Lines in hydrocarbon service may occasionally be steamed out and pipe
stressing must take into account the resulting rise in temperature. Note that the
equipment is also steamed out and in the case of columns, the resulting vertical
expansion may cause large movements in the connected piping, which may remain at
ambient temperature.
10.1.4 Solar Radiation - Long straight uninsulated pipe runs, especially off-site pipelines may
be subject to significant movements as a result of solar radiation. Due allowance shall
be made for this.
10.2 EQUIPMENT CONSIDERATIONS
10.2.1 Piping connected to pumps - Pipework at two-pump sets shall be analysed with both
pumps in operation first. A further one-off case, one pump in operation, one pump on
standby shall be run after consideration has been given to which of the pumps operating
will produce the worst case. The temperature of the line to the standby pump shall be
considered as either:
10.2.1.1 75% operating temperature where check valve by-pass is specified.
10.2.1.2 Minimum maintained temperature where specified in line list.
10.2.1.3 For Insulated Lines : Average temperature from tee junction to the
block valve of the dead leg.
Minimum ambient temperature downstream to the equipment.
10.2.1.4 For Uninsulated Lines : Minimum ambient temperature from tee

junction to the equipment.
10.2.1.5 Where applicable the maximum piping load allowed at the operating
pump nozzle shall conform to API-610. ( ATTACHMENT-10 )
10.2.1.6 For pumps which may not conform to API 610, the allowable loadings
must be requested at an early date from the pump manufacturer. For
large pumps outside the scope of API-610 the allowable loads shall be
higher of 1.8 x NEMA SM-23 or the values provided by the vendor.
( ATTACHMENT - 10 )
When in doubt about allowable piping loads on pump nozzles, the calculated loads
resulting from the desired piping arrangement should be sent to the manufacturer for
approval.
In situations where space restrictions make it especially difficult to achieve satisfactory

nozzle loadings the following measures can be considered:

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 16 / 51

A bleed to maintain temperature in the stand-by pump piping thus reducing the
differential expansion in the piping legs to the two (or three) pumps.
Eliminating or reducing any difference in size between the pipe and the pump nozzle.
Either case must be approved by PetroVietnam.
10.2.2 Turbine and Centrifugal Compressor Piping - Nozzle displacements for turbine and
compressor nozzles should be obtained from the supplier. For turbines, minimum
nozzle loads ( 3.0 times NEMA SM-23 ) shall be obtained from the vendor, whilst a
factor of 2.0 may be applied to API-617 to obtain minimum nozzle loads for centrifugal
compressors. CAESAR-II modules shall be used for equipment stability check as per
NEMA SM-23 or API-617.
10.2.3 Air-Cooler Piping - For piping loads at air-coolers twice the load given by API 661
should be used. With multi-bundles it is generally advantageous to connect the piping
inlet manifold as close as possible to the exchanger nozzles and allow thermal
expansion to shift the tube bundles laterally. At even-pass units the flexibility of the
outlet piping must allow for this movement. At odd-pass units the outlet piping must
allow for a possible failure of a single fan thus causing a differential temperature along
adjacent tube bundles. The exchanger manufacturer should be required to provide low
friction pads under tube bundles as a matter of routine for all multi-bundle air-fin
coolers.
To limit the vertical pipe loads on the inlet nozzles it may be necessary to extend the
air-cooler support steelwork upwards between the bundles in order to carry the weight
of the manifold for both hydrostatic test and for operating ( normally vapour )
conditions.
Should the force required to shift the tube bundles exceed the maximum allowed on the
nozzles, the following alternative solutions may be considered:
10.2.3.1 Request the vendor to provide mechanical links between the tube
bundles at the inlet header boxes so that expansion across the entire
air-cooler matches that of the inlet-piping manifold. This device can
only be used where distance between adjacent header boxes is minimal
and expansion across both piping manifold and header boxes is
identical.
10.2.3.2 Support the inlet manifold on a separate structure and connect it to the
air-cooler inlet nozzles by pipe loops of adequate flexibility.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 17 / 51

10.2.4 Transfer Lines from Heaters - These require special attention and a computer analysis
should be considered as routine practice.
The vendor usually specifies allowable loads conservatively on heater nozzles. For
requisitions allowable piping loads on heaters have been specified as 3 times as per
API-560. If these cannot be achieved, the Contractor shall liaise directly with the
vendor and submit the calculated loads for further consideration by the vendor. Lateral
movement of the connecting piping can, to some extent, be absorbed by allowing the
terminal tubes to shift a small amount ( approx. 25-mm ). The vendor should be asked
to include this feature in their design. Vertical movement of piping connections to
horizontal tubes can be similarly incorporated in the heater design by pre-setting the
tube upwards, i.e. lifting it off the nearest supports.
Check also the location of the fixed ends of the tubes to determine the movement of the
heater terminals and whether a change in the heater design would reduce the problems
resulting from overall expansion of the pipe and tubes.
Transfer lines carrying a mixed phase fluid can be subjected to severe vibrations. The
Contractor shall check for this possibility and, if necessary, add restraints to prevent
movement from this source.
Depending upon the type and function of the heater, the contents of the transfer line
may be vapour during operation, but liquid during start-up or shutdown when the
operating temperature is less than normal. The design and location of supports to meet
the two weight conditions must be taken into account when designing and analysing the
transfer line.
Information with regard to the weight of liquid and the temperature/pressure

characteristics of transition to vapour phase shall be obtained from the process design
10.2.5 Piping at Storage Tanks Differential settlement at tanks is particularly important and
data must be obtained prior to the design of piping on the following:
10.2.5.1 Amount of settlement.
10.2.5.2 The period of time over which settlement occurs.
10.2.5.3 Amount of settlement and recovery that occurs following construction

and hydrotest.
When large storage tanks are filled, the walls bulge and nozzles located
in the lower course are rotated downwards. Any restraint to this
rotation by the stiffness of the connected piping will cause a stress in
the tank shell, which must be limited to values defined by the
Specialist Vessel Engineer. It is imperative for design to proceed that
the values of tank bulge and nozzle rotation and the methods of
calculation to be used are agreed early in the project. The definition of
these values is the responsibility of the Specialist Vessel Engineer.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 18 / 51

The combined effects of settlement and nozzle rotation may suggest

supporting the piping on springs. However, before pursuing this
course a check should be made on the possibility of the line becoming
drained during a normal operation cycle. If this should occur the
supporting springs may impose an excessive upward force on the tank
nozzle. Where the line can only be drained when the tank is out of
service, instructions shall be issued for the springs to be locked before
draining.
10.2.6 ATTACHMENT-10 provides Allowable Loads at Equipment. These loads shall be included in the
equipment requisitions ( MRs ) and advised to the equipment vendors at the time of issuing the MRs for
inquiry. These loads shall be mutually agreed between the Contractor and Vendors for implementation.
10.3 SURGE / SLUG FLOW
10.3.1 Check the possibility of surge occurring in off-site lines as a result of valve closure.
Install line stops at changes of direction to withstand surge forces and consequent
movement of the pipe.
The following are conditions that should be considered for slug flow:
10.3.1.1 Slug development due to start-up / shutdown.
10.3.1.2 Slug build-up in condensate lines.
10.3.1.3 Slug development in relief flare systems ( liquid relief ).
10.3.2 A slug of liquid, with a mass ( kg ) and velocity ( m/s ), being driven along a piping
system has a momentum, and if it travels around a sharp bend or elbow, there is a
change in momentum.
The following formula may be applied to calculate the force acting on elbows:
Fr = pav2 (1)
Where :
p = density of fluid
a = internal cross sectional area
v = velocity of which slug is travelling
Fr = Resultant force as slug strikes elbow

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 19 / 51

Fr
Since the slug force generated is an impact force the formula (1) should be factored by
a dynamic load factor of 2 i.e.
Fr = 2 x pav2 (2)
10.3.3 A full dynamic analysis should not be attempted if a system is acting close to slug flow
condition due to the complexity of predicting the time period of slug generation.
However, an attempt should be made to increase the first mode of vibration ( natural
frequency ) to a value above 5Hz.
10.4. EARTHQUAKE FORCES
10.4.1 Piping in earthquake zones must be designed on the basis that spring supports should
be avoided.
10.4.2 Lateral movement of the ground requires restraints to be added along the pipe. To
calculate the horizontal force on these restraints multiply the dead weight by a factor
dependent on the earthquake severity zone.
10.4.3 A dynamic analysis may be necessary on sensitive lines subject to earthquake design.
This technique should be carefully used, as it is generally an iterative process.
10.4.4 Earthquake loading shall be based upon the criteria given in BCV The Building
Code of Vietnam, Volume III Annex 2.8. The region of the site lies within seismic
zone MSK VI which is equivalent to MM VI or JMA IV to V and which relates to a
peak acceleration of 0.05g.
Hence, the peak ground acceleration value to be used in analysis shall be equal to
0.05g in horizontal X & Z directions.

10.5 WIND LOADING
10.5.1 Project Engineering Standard 8474L-000-JSD-1700-002 , Design Procedure For Wind

Loads is aimed at the structural integrity of buildings and structures to ensure that
surface areas that are exposed to wind, including pipes, are adequately designed for.
The piping code ASME B31.3 paragraph 301.5.2, Wind, states The effect of wind
loading shall be taken into account in the design of exposed piping. The method of
analysis may be as described in ASCE 7-88, Minimum Design Loads for Building and
Other Structures, or the Uniform Building Code.
Therefore, wind loading should be considered on the following pipelines to ensure

structural integrity of pipe support structures and vessel shells when the pipe outside
diameter ( including insulation thickness ) is 400 mm and over:
10.5.1.1 Lines that are routed down towers, columns or vertical drums.
10.5.1.2 Inlet lines to Air-coolers.
10.5.1.3 Flare or Run Down or similar lines when routed in exposed areas
between process units and the flare stack.
10.5.1.4 Lines that are routed over and around exposed platforms such as top
platforms on columns or high structures at elevations 10 m and above.
10.5.2 Design data for wind pressure calculation shall be as follows :
Wind Region : III B, Wo = 2.00 KN/m2
Terrain : Exposure A
Return Period : 50 years
The design wind pressure at height z shall be determined based on the following
formula.
qz = Wo kz
Where :
qz = Wind pressure evaluated at height z above ground (KN/m)
Wo = 2.00 KN/m
= Wind pressure for Zone III B (Table 2.2.1 BCV Vol III)
= 0.613 Vo (N/m)
kz = Factor of wind pressure variation with height and terrain
(Refer Table-1)
Vo = 57 m/s
( 3-sec gust velocity at 10m above ground over a return period of 50
years, relative to exposure B ).

Linear interpolation is permitted for Z values other than shown.

Wind shape factor = 0.7
10.6 FOUNDATION SETTLEMENT
10.6.1 Differential settlement must be taken into account in piping stress analysis when the
following values are exceeded:
Pumps to pipe racks 5 mm

Pumps to drums and storage tanks 10 mm
Pumps to shell and tube exchangers 10 mm
Pumps to columns 5 mm
Turbines to pipe racks 5 mm
Shell and tube exchangers to pipe racks 10 mm
Shell and tube exchangers to drums 10 mm
Shell and tube exchangers to columns 10 mm
Columns to pipe racks 15 mm
Columns to air-cooler exchangers 15 mm
10.6.2 Where it is necessary to design for greater settlements, the initial amount occurring
during construction and testing may be ignored. In such cases it should be clearly
noted that piping connections must be made after hydrostatic testing.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 22 / 51

10.7 RACK DEFLECTION
10.7.1 It is recommended that pipe rack deflections concur to the above criteria for modular
design and a maximum of 5 mm should be adopted for the lateral deflection of pipe
racks.
10.8 BURIED PIPING
10.8.1 Buried piping will expand or contract with temperature changes in the flowing medium
or the surrounding soil. This movement will occur regardless of the burial depth or the
soil type. The total change in length of the pipeline is dependent on the soil fiction and
the passive resistance.
Stress engineer shall exercise engineering judgement to decide criticality of the buried
piping ( based on pipe size, fluid service , realistic metallic temperature achieved etc. )
and perform the analysis accordingly.
10.9 CONTROL VALVE PIPING
10.9.1 Control or let down valves cause vibrations in connecting pipe work and may
sometimes reach dangerous amplitudes or destructive frequencies. In general the
connecting pipelines should be guided whenever possible to eliminate such large
amplitude vibrations.
Rigid attachments should be avoided in case :
10.9.1.1 Pipelines are subjected to sonic vibrations with high-energy input.
10.9.1.2 Where the pipe wall tends to oval.
10.9.1.3 Wave patterns develop circumferentially.
10.10 BOWING OF PIPE
10.10.1 Due to pipelines being subjected to unequal heating across the pipe wall along its
length the pipe will bow. This type of bowing is unrelated to column instability
resulting from compressive axial loads.
10.10.2 Bowing may occur when the flowing medium, which may be hot or cold, partially fills
the pipelines or the suns radiation heats the top of large empty pipelines which lay
close to ambient ground.
10.10.3 The requirement to include bowing in the analysis should be considered if the
differential temperature across the pipe wall is 50 C or greater.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 23 / 51

10.11 STRESS LOOPS
10.11.1 Stress loops within pipe racks can be sized using nomograph methodology.
ATTACHMENT- 7 Stress Loop Sizing for Pipe racks.
10.11.2 Refer to ATTACHMENT- 8 Loop Forces and Stresses for calculation requirements.
Loads on pipe rack bents should be transmitted to the Civil Engineers to enable them to
complete the pipe rack design. Alternatively, calculated loads from the CAESAR-II
output shall be transmitted to the Civil department.
10.12 SUPPORT DESIGN
10.12.1 Contractor shall provide a comprehensive pipe support standard. This shall use stress
loads calculated and integrate them fully with design range of the piping systems and
the requirements of this standard.
10.12.2. Contractor shall provide for design of support trunnions ( including reinforcement as
required ) in accordance with the requirements of the codes and documents listed.
Trunnion diameters shall normally be one pipe size down on line size.
10.13 BRANCH REINFORCEMENT
Calculations for the branch reinforcements shall be in accordance with ASME 31.3.
10.14 EXPANSION JOINTS
10.14.1 In cases where it is impractical to increase the flexibility of a pipeline to reduce the
stress range and/or termination loads to an acceptable level, the Specialist Stress
Engineer may specify the use of bellows or expansion joints as a design solution. (See
also paragraph 8.2.2.).
10.14.2 If it is found that an expansion joint is required then the technical requirements shall be
identified and listed.
10.14.3 Contractor shall obtain written approval for the use of expansion joints or flexible
hoses from PetroVietnam prior to proceeding with the requisitions.
10.15 SPRING SUPPORTS
10.15.1 Spring supports shall be avoided as an easy solution for piping which is subjected to
vertical thermal expansions or mechanical movements. An alternative is to reposition
supports or re-route the piping.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 24 / 51

Since the use of spring supports is quite common in refinery plants and the quantity
involved is large it is not practical to seek approval for each spring support. Contractor
shall obtain written approval for the use of spring supports from PetroVietnam prior to
proceeding with the requisitions.
10.15.2 If spring supports are necessary in a pump system, the pre-set reaction force is set to
the value required when the system is filled with liquid. Prior to start-up this reaction
could be applied to an empty piping system. If the pump or piping is unable to accept
such loading the spring must be pre-set at a value between the piping system being full
and empty. If this still fails to meet the acceptable loads, the piping will require re-
routing. Alternatively, instructions shall be noted for keeping the spring supports
locked during the pipe empty conditions.
10.15.3 Spring supports are ideal for situations where vertical expansions or mechanical
movements are restricted by solid supports, which results in unacceptable reactions or
stresses. Spring supports must be used on hot piping systems adjacent to pumps,
turbines and compressors when solid supports prove to be unsatisfactory.
10.15.4 Care should be taken that springs are accessible for the release of travel stops during
commissioning.
10.15.5 Spring supports should generally be of the Variable Type. However, in cases where the
load variation exceeds 20%, Constant Type spring supports shall be utilised. Spring
cold load setting shall be done at operating temperature and the size range shall be
selected based on the design temperature. Hydrotest loads shall be used for checking
mechanical design of spring and hanger assembly components.
10.16 OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
10.16.1 The following considerations undertaken to cover other specific areas of detailed
analysis requirements.
10.16.1.1 Lines which are susceptible to water hammer or subject to large surge
loads shall be reviewed in detail e.g. cooling water and firewater
distribution piping. The pipe work shall include adequate restraints to
keep stresses and deflections within acceptable values.
10.16.1.2 Impulse loading to relief valve discharges venting to atmosphere. The

Specialist Instrument Engineer normally determines relief valve forces
after valve throat sizing. Alternatively the discharge loads shall be
obtained from the vendor.
Note: For relief valve discharges relieving into a closed vent or flare
header, impulse loadings can be ignored. Relief valve piping, however,
still needs restraint but in this case analysis is not required.
10.16.1.3 Thin walled piping shall be considered for shortened spans.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 25 / 51

10.16.1.4 Flare systems must be reviewed with consideration given to the full
temperature range, and the possibility of slugging and shock loading
criteria. Branch connections, tie-ins, for flare systems should be at
90 degrees for maximum strength for stress analysis. Unless process
requirements dictate otherwise the following stress intensification
factors should be applied:-
=
90 Degrees SIF = SIF x 1.00
As a minimum requirement the flare headers and supports shall be

designed for the presence of liquid. The assumption for the amount of
liquid present for a given diameter shall be as follows :
For Pipe Dia. < 16 - 1/2 Full of liquid
For 18 < Pipe Dia. < 36 - 1/3 Full of liquid
For Pipe Dia. > 38 1/4 Full of liquid
10.16.2 Friction
The additional loads due to friction at resting supports, restraints and equipment
nozzles shall be considered where in judgement of the stress engineer friction will have
significant impact.
Following coefficients of friction as defined in 8474L-000-JSD-1700-001 shall be

considered in stress analysis:
Combination of Surfaces Friction Coefficient

Steel on Concrete 0.45
Concrete on Formation Level ( soil ) 0.45
Steel to Steel 0.40
Stainless Steel to PTFE 0.10
PTFE to PTFE 0.10
Graphite to Graphite 0.15

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 26 / 51

10.16.3 Pipe Deflections
Pipe deflections should not be excessive so as to cause clashes with surrounding

pipework, structure or equipment. All pipe work with more than 75 mm of horizontal
movement shall be checked by the Support / Piping Designers for pipe spacing
clearance.
Vertical deflection due to sustained loads shall be limited to 12.5 mm. Special
consideration shall be given to lines where slope is required to be maintained.
11.0 STRESS CALCULATIONS NOTES
11.1 Each stress calculation note (Category-1 only) shall contain as a minimum the following data.
11.1.1 Summary sheets indicating lines analysed ( Refer to ATTACHMENT - 11 ), basic

design data, load cases, member stresses and piping loads on equipment nozzles.
11.1.2 Computer verification plot.
11.1.3 Computer input data.
11.1.4 Computer output data : restraint loads, pipe displacements, spring support sheet ( if
applicable ), stress compliance report etc.
11.2 Unit-wise stress calculation note index shall be maintained to ensure complete stress records for review.
11.3 Final stress calculation note index shall be delivered along with the stress report.
12.0 STRESS ANALYSIS REPORT
There are two major stages to ascertain the progress of stress analysis works. The stress analysis report
shall be issued in two stages:
12.1 IFR STRESS REPORT :
At this stage a report containing stress calculation notes for the specific lines chosen by PetroVietnam
from the Critical Line List with information as shown in Section 11.0 shall be submitted to
PetroVietnam for their understanding of the stress work in progress. Any comments received from
Client shall be incorporated in the final submission.

8474L 000 JSD 1300 008 2 27 / 51

12.2 IFC STRESS REPORT :
This report shall incorporate certified vendor data, updated process conditions and including comments
from PetroVietnam, if any.
All stress calculation notes shall be checked by an experienced Stress Engineer, the level of checking
being dependent on the severity of the piping system.

NOTES :
1. For piping falling under more than one selection criteria, the more stringent criteria shall apply. For hot lines
Ambient Temperature = 16C ( TAMIN ) and for cold lines Ambient Temperature = 36C (TAMAX). Accordingly,
these ambient temperature values shall be utilised for calculating the thermal stress range for CAT-1 lines.
2. The connections to the equipment refer to Process or Hot Utility connections only (excluding any ambient utility
connections e.g. cooling water, plant air, instrument air , instrument connections etc).
3. Criteria for PSV piping are applicable to gas / vapour service only.
4. Stress engineer to exercise engineering judgement to decide criticality of the buried piping ( based on pipe size,
fluid service , realistic metallic temperature achieved etc. ) and perform the analysis accordingly.
5. Small bore piping 1.5 ( 40 DN ) shall be field routed and supported.

NOTES TO TABLES - 1, 2, 3
1 In case Piping is not able to meet the above loads after flexibility analysis, actual loads shall
be forwarded to vendor for review / approval ( using BS 55000 or WELDING RESEARCH
COUNCIL BULLETIN 107 AND WRC 297 ONLY ).
The loads are applicable only to process flow connections and not to connections such as
man-ways or instrumentation lines.
2 Tabulated loads are not applicable to Reboiler Outlet Nozzles / connected Column Inlet
Nozzles. Initial design of these nozzles shall be based on 1.5 times the allowable loads
provided in the above tables.
Actual loads shall be furnished to vendor for final design and provision of additional
reinforcement ( if required ).
3 Tabulated loads are at the intersection of shell and nozzle.
4 The vendor shall provide sufficient local reinforcement and/or extra thickness to maintain
local stresses within the limit specified by the vessel design code.
5 Tabulated values for P only are Bi-Directional ( ).

API - 610 PUMPS :
- The allowable forces and moments on centrifugal pumps with suction nozzles NPS 16 nominal
diameter or less shall meet the load criteria of API-610 with Appendix-F as a minimum. However in the
case of critical duty pumps, Piping group will identify such pumps and request for 2 x API 610 Table-4
values to be specified in the MR for vendor compliance prior to order placement. The criticality will be
determined based on line size, temperature, layout constraints and past project experience.
- For nozzle diameter greater than 16 inches, vendor shall specify the allowable nozzle loads or the actual
loads shall be passed to the vendor for Review / Approval.
OTHER PUMPS ( NON- API PUMPS ) :
- For non API pumps as there is no applicable standard the allowable nozzle loads shall be obtained from
the manufacturer as part of the technical bids and shall be issued to piping for compliance. However, in
the case of pumps nozzle sizes 6" and larger, the pump MR will specify API-610 Table-4 values for
compliance by the vendors prior to order placement. For large pumps outside the scope of API-610 the
allowable loads shall be higher of 1.8 x NEMA SM-23 or values provided by the vendor.
CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSORS / TURBO EXPANDERS:
- The calculated nozzle loads on centrifugal compressors / turbo expanders shall satisfy the allowable
load criteria of 3.7 * NEMA SM23 ( 2 * API 617).
TURBINES :
- The calculated nozzle loads on turbines shall satisfy the allowable load criteria of 3 * NEMA SM23.
AIR FIN COOLERS :
- The allowable forces and moments acting on these nozzles shall be 2 times those specified in ISO
13076 or API 661 as a minimum. Teflon pads shall be provided below the air cooler supports. The
maximum allowable header box movement shall be 50 mm ( for multiple bundles ) or higher if
permitted by the vendor design.
- Vendor shall tabulate allowable movement and nozzle loads in the header box drawing.
- Presetting of the header boxes to accommodate the movements is not permitted.
FIRED HEATERS :
- The calculated forces and moments shall be limited to 3 * API 560 allowable values. If possible,
Vendor shall provide anchor at the battery limit to isolate the heater piping/tubing with external piping.
This requirement shall be added in the heater package specification. Otherwise the vendor shall provide
heater coil expansions at the Contractors battery limit.
