Week 11 Challenge

S.No:1

Aim:

A pipe carrying LNG rests on the shoe having vertical force of 125 kN. Calculate the Friction load on the axis. Also find the friction force, if TEFLON pad is used between shoe and pipe support.

Explanation: Steel to Steel friction factor=0.3

Teflon ti Steel friction factor=0.1

Friction force longitudinal direction=coeff of frictionxGravity load

=0.3x125=37.5KN

Friction load in transverse direction=10%of piping operating load=0.1x125

=12.5KN

Result:Friction load in longitudinal and Transverse direction are 37.5 KN & 12.5 KN respectively when pipe is resting on steel and these friction forces are 12.5 KN & 12.5 KN respectively when pipe is resting on Teflon.

S.No:3

Aim:

Design a typical pipe rack bent in oil plant. The pipe rack configuration shall be as shown in Figure 1 and the plan layout as shown in Figure 2.
