Piping Stress analysis is a term applied to calculations, which address the static and dynamic loading resulting from the effects of gravity, temperature changes, internal and external pressures, changes in fluid flow rate and seismic activity. Codes and standards establish the minimum requirements of stress analysis.
Purpose of piping stress analysis Purpose of piping stress analysis is to ensure: Safety of piping and piping components. Safety of connected equipment and supporting structure. Piping deflections are within the limits

The stress-strain curve characterizes the behavior of the material tested. It is most often plotted using engineering stress and strain measures, because the reference length and cross-sectional area are easily measured. Typical regions that can be observed in a stress-strain curve are:
It should be emphasized that the extent of each region in stress-strain space is material dependent, and that not all materials exhibit all of the above regions. In the elastic region, the slope of the stress-strain curve is the Young's Modulus. Thus s = e E

Failure Theories
Maximum principal stress theory forms basis of B31 series codes. Yielding in a pipe component occurs when the magnitude of any of the three mutually perpendicular principal stresses exceeds the yield strength of materials.

Stress Categories
The major stress categories are
Primary Stresses These are developed by the imposed loading. Limits are intended to prevent plastic deformation and bursting. These satisfy equilibrium between internal and external forces and moments of the piping system. Primary stresses are not self-limiting. Secondary Stresses Primary + Secondary stress limits are intended to prevent excessive plastic deformation leading to incremental collapse. These are developed by the constraint of displacements of a structure e.g. Thermal expansion or movement of an anchor. Secondary stresses are self-limiting. Peak Stress limit is intended to prevent fatigue failure from cyclic loading. Examples are stress concentrations at discontinuity and thermal gradient through pipe walls

Secondary Stresses
Piping system must satisfy an imposed strain pattern rather than be in equilibrium with imposed forces. Local yielding and minor distortions tend to relieve these stresses.
Therefore, secondary stresses are self limiting. Only ductile materials with a well defined minimum yield points are used in piping wherever thermal stresses are encountered

A Stress Intensification Factor (SIF) is defined as the ratio between the peak stress and average stress in a given component:
A. R. C. Markl and his team (1950s) developed the original SIFs still used in ASME piping Codes today. In his study, Markl determined that girth butt-welds typically resulted in stresses approximately 1.7 to 2.0 times the stress in non-welded piping. As a result, all of the piping codes have been base lined to include the factor of 2.0 for girth welds:

W.G. Dodge; E.C. Rodabaugh, W.G. Dodge and S.E. Moore This report presents a simplified method for calculating the stresses induced in straight pipe by thrust and moment loadings applied to lugs and other integral attachments. Following the philosophy of the nuclear power piping portion of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, appropriate secondary stress indices are defined. A simple and conservative formula for computing the stress indices is developed using analytical results as a guide. A comparison is made between experimental stress indices and those obtained using the simplified analysis procedure developed here as well as the more complex analysis procedures of Welding Research Council Bulletin 107 (WRC-107 method). The method is extended to attachments having a variety of cross sections.

J. L. Mershon, K. Mokhtarian, G. V. Ranjan, and E. C. Rodabaugh WRC Bulletin 297 presents methods and data for treating two normally intersecting cylindrical shells, i.e., cylindrical nozzles radially attached to cylindrical vessels (shells). Stresses in both the nozzle and vessel can be determined, and the range of vessel diameter-to-thickness ratio covered is increased over that in Bulletin 107. The analytical method used was derived and developed by C.R. Steele on the basis of the thin shell theory.

Expansion Joints
When piping elbows, bends, and expansion loops may not provide adequate flexibility in piping, expansion joints may be used to absorb the expansion and contractions of piping. Following may be its applications
Thermal movements inducing excessive stress Space restrictions Large reactions to pipe anchors Large reactions to equipment nozzles
In expansion joints, pressure forces must be resisted by pipe supports and anchors. (Pressure force = internal pressure x max sectional area where applied.) Types can be rubber hoses or metal bellows, etc.

Piping systems are to be analyzed for maximum operating temperature. Free thermal analysis may be performed considering terminal points and anchors and equipment nozzles. A thermal stress < 10,000 psi means adequate flexibility in piping system. Equipment nozzle displacements due to thermal expansions need to be considered The thermal stress developed in the pipe are in fact stress range i.e. difference between thermal expansion and highest and lowest temperatures. Loads due to differences in expansion characteristics as in bimetallic, lined, jacketed or metallic-non metallic piping also need to be considered.

A piping system supported on two seismically independent structures that move out of phase will experience stresses due to differential displacements. The analysis is done by applying corresponding displacements at pipe supports or anchor locations. Usually evaluated as secondary stress If SAM is less than thermal stress range, effective secondary stress range is sum of two. If SAM is more than thermal stress range, effective secondary stress range is twice SAM stress.

Expansion Loops
Load due to axial expansion causes bending stresses to be developed, increasing upwards in the vertical pipes and becoming a maximum at the loop elbows. That bending moment stays at that maximum bending moment level for the entire length of the top horizontal pipe until it gets to the next elbow and starts reducing until it reaches the bottom pipe on the other side of the loop.
As the loop gets higher, both axial resultant stress in the horizontal pipes and the bending moments in the loop are reduced.

Why carry out stress analysis? The reasons one does a pipe stress analysis on a piping system are as follows to comply with legislation to ensure the piping is well supported and does not sag or deflect in an unsightly way under its own weight to ensure that the deflections are well controlled when thermal and other loads are applied to ensure that the loads and moments imposed on machinery and vessels by the thermal growth of the attached piping are not excessive to ensure that the stresses in the pipework in both the cold and hot conditions are below the allowables

CAESAR II (2/6)
How to carry out piping stress analysis?
The piping system is modelled using analysis software such as CAESAR II, available from COADE Software. The model is constructed from piping general arrangement drawings, piping isometric drawings and piping and valve specifications. Once the system is accurately modelled, taking care to set the boundary conditions, comprehensive stress analysis calculations are done, modifications to the model are made to ensure compliance with the above requirements. The modifications may include one or more of the following tools

CAESAR II (3/6)
Restraints A device which prevents, resists or limits the free thermal movement of the pipe. Restraints can be either directional, rotational or a combination of both. Anchors A rigid restraint which provides substantially full fixity, i.e., ideally allowing neither movements nor bending moments to pass through them. True anchors are usually difficult to achieve. A seemingly solid gusseted bracket welded to a house column does not qualify as an anchor if the column does not have the strength to resist the loads applied to it.

Expansion Loops A purpose designed device which absorbs thermal growth; usually used in combination with restraints and cold pulls. Neutral Planes of Movement This refers to the planes on the 3 axes of a turbo machine or pump from where expansion of the machine starts e.g. the fixed end of a turbine casing. This information is normally provided by the equipment manufacturer. If not available from this source, the fixed points of the machine must be determined by inspection and an estimation of the turbine growths calculated. A pipe restraint positioned in line with a neutral plane prevents differential expansion forces between the pipe and the machine.

CAESAR II (5/6)
Cold Pull or Cold Spring This is used to pre-load the piping system in the cold condition in the opposite direction to the expansion, so that the effects of expansion are reduced. Cold pull is usually 50% of the expansion of the pipe run under consideration. Cold pull has no effect on the code stress, but can be used to reduce the nozzle loads on machinery or vessels. Spring Hangers Used to support a piping system that is subjected to vertical thermal movements. Commercially available single coil spring units are suitable for most applications. Supplier's catalogues adequately cover the selection of these springs. According to Hooke's law, the spring's supporting capacity will vary in direct proportion to the amount of displacement the spring undergoes due to thermal movement. This variation between cold and hot should be between 25 and 50% of the hot loaded condition.

Solid Vertical Support In places where vertical thermal movement does not create undesirable effects, or where vertical movement is intentionally prevented or directed, solid supports in the form of rollers, rods or slippers are used. It is important that free horizontal movement of the pipe is not impeded unless horizontal restraint is desired. Slippers and rollers must be well designed and lubricated.
