DESIGN/OPERATING TEMP FOR EXPANSION ANALYSIS
DESIGN/OPERATING TEMP FOR EXPANSION ANALYSIS
(OP)
Hi
I am currently working on thermal expansion analysis based on Palmer and Ling theory
for a 75km offshore pipeline.
I want to know if its the DESIGN OR OPERATING TEMPERATURE PROFILE I should use for
my calculations, because my PROCESS team supplied me with just the operation temp profile (that they don't run for design case owing to the fact that its not a realistic scenario).

Independent events are seldomly independent.

Also during the hydrotest, how do I get the temp profile because I wasn't given this data by my process team (using PIPEPHASE)? So was wondering how I can determine the temperature decay during hydrotest.
