Stress analysis of jacketed pipes
Stress analysis of jacketed pipes
(OP)
Hi
I've received a remark from client of mine concerning the load case we didn't apparently took into account when we did stress analysis of jacketed pipes. In this remark it is stated that we only took operating case into account, but we failed to analyse the "start up case" (or starting conditions in which the system could operate for some period of time if I understood the remark correctly). Does anybody know what my client might be referring to? What starting conditions is he talking about?
By the way the stress analysis was done in Caesar II program.

LittleInch can you elaborate more on your post. Or point me to the text which treats these problem.
Thnx

Normally jacket is for when you needed to keep the inner pipe contents at a certain or minimum temperature.
Start up is difficult to see.

This occurs when the inner pipe wants to pipe more than the outer one, or vice versa.
RE: Stress analysis of jacketed pipes
Please clarify your statement "This occurs when the inner pipe wants to pipe more than the outer one, or vice versa." as I am confused!!!!
I presume you mean "This occurs when the inner pipe wants to expand or contract more than the outer one, or vice versa.

"There is one thing I've forgot to mention which was in in the remark of my client. The client said that the starting conditions actually refer to the outer pipe, which is hotter than the inner pipe (when it comes down to operating conditions)."
I think this statement is misleading.
In fact, if there is no fluid (or 70C fluid) in the inner pipe but the jacket has 80C fluid flowing then both pipes are seeing the same 80C temperature. The outer (Jacket) pipe will do doubt be insulated but it and the inner pipe will both be seeing the 80C temp on one surface and a reduced temp on the other surface.

Then we built some J-shaped pipes in 13"/14" OD for a go-fast boat powered by helicopter engines. Mirror-polished outside, with laser-cut internal baffles to keep the jacket flow distributed, nozzles projecting from the inside at the distal end to cool the exhaust gas coming out of the boat. We sold them for a fortune, and probably still lost money.
We got to build a second set when the builder fired 'er up and measured high backpressure.
The inner tube had collapsed almost completely during the jacket leak test.
The buckle was between the two elbows, so it was impossible to see without a mirror on a stick.
The entire shop heard a 'bang' during the test, but nobody thought anything of it, because stuff was always falling or being hammered on.
If we'd made the inner tube 12 gage instead of 14 gage it wouldn't have collapsed. I figured that out with some back calculations after the adventure.

The axial stress was added to the flexibility stress equation. While axial stress in not important in most piping systems, it can be important for piping that is jacketed or buried. The 2010 edition required that it be considered, but it was not in the equation

Spot-on !!!!! But thats always his "stock" answer or a lengthy bibliography of references. Never actually answers the question.
