3. The difference of piping & pipeline
stress analysis
Piping modeling
• Code requirement shall use
ASME B31.3
• Aboveground
• Many support or restrain
needed
Pipeline modeling
• Code requirement use
ASME B31.4 for liquid &
B31.8 for gas transmission
• Usually Underground
• Shall use anchor block as a
restrain from aboveground-
underground conversely
4. Burried Pipe
• Buried pipe deforms laterally in areas
immediately adjacent to changes in directions
• In areas far removed from bends and tees the
deformation is primarily axial
5. PIPELINE BURRIED MODELING
• The Buried Pipe Modeler is started by selecting an existing
job, and then choosing menu option Input-Underground from
the CAESAR II Main Menu
• Enter the soil data using Buried Pipe - Soil Models
• Describe the sections of the piping system that are buried,
and define any required fine mesh areas using the buried
element data spreadsheet
• Convert the original model into the buried model by the
activation of option Buried Pipe - Convert Input
8. The buried element description spreadsheet serves
several functions
• It allows the user to define which part of the piping system is
buried.
• It allows the user to define mesh spacing at specific element
ends.
• It allows the input of user defined soil stiffnesses
10. Anchor Block Restrain
• Pipeline with a long distance needs block
valve, there were a change direction from
underground to aboveground
• In this situation pipeline must be installed
with anchor block before and after
aboveground pipe
11. Why we need anchor block ?
• To prevent stress failed on block valve due to
axial deformation of a long pipeline
