Maximum Reaction at Intermediate pipe support = 0.742 kN

Maximum Reaction at Dished end = 7.472 kN

a) Intermediate Pipe Support:-

Minimum Channel 150 x75 is used as support for pipe as in fig. and that channel is
supported by cleat chair. Maximum shear to be resisted by 2-20dia bolt is 0.0742 kN

Shear value for 1 bolt = 64.3 kN (8.8 Grade)

As for 8.8 Grade bolt Allowable shear stress = 800x0.8x0.4 = 256 N/mm2
Hence for 20mm dia bolt can resist (256x314x0.8) = 64.3 kN shear.
Hence 2 bolts are sufficient
(This Shear is Vertical force; Bolts are checked for that vertical force which is
conservative design)

Shear Resistance of Cleat chair:-

For full penetration weld, then Length of weld (Vertical) = 158+158 +158+158
=632mm = 63.2cm . (as Cleat is having 2 -158deep vertical plates)
The capacity of full penetration weld (given by Client) = 300 N/cm.

Page 7 of 11

Hence shear resisted by Cleat = 62.3 x300 = 18690 N =18.69 kN. >0.742 kN

Hence for V1991 pipe one Channel 150 x75 is sufficient... hence OK
b) Dished end Pipe Support:-
200 mm deep plate is used to support at dished end.
Maximum Length of weld (Vertical) = 200+200 =400 mm = 40 cm.
The capacity of full penetration weld (given) = 300 N/cm.

Hence shear resisted by Plate = 40 x300 = 12000 N = 12 kN. > 7.47 kN... hence OK
LIQUID THRUST CAUSES SHEARING FOR THE
BOLTS ON THE DISHED END SUPPORT. VENDOR
TO RUN A SHEAR CHECK FOR THESE BOLTS.

2.2 Dead Load and fluid load V1992

Dead loads shall consist of self weight of the pipe
b) For V1992 vessel =

Pipe ID = 999mm and thk =8mm

Hence wt of pipe = 198kg/m

REFER TO COMMENTS GIVEN
Wt of Fluid with specific gravity of 1.1 = 862 kg/m ON PAGE NO. 4

Exposed area for splashing = 4.13 m 0.99 m = 4.09 m2

Outlet nozzle pressure (Given) = 6.0 kPa.
Splash Load = 6.0 4.09 = 24.54 kN Acting at 2.065 m from support.

Page 11 of 11

Maximum Reaction at Intermediate pipe support = 3.40 kN

Maximum Reaction at Dished end = 33.260 kN

c) Intermediate Pipe Support:-

If minimum Channel 150 x75 is used for support then for full penetration weld, then
Length of weld ( Vertical) = 150+150 =300 mm = 30 cm .
The capacity of full penetration weld (given by Client) = 300 N/cm.

Hence shear resisted by Channel 150 x75 = 30 x300 = 9000 N = 9 kN. >3.46 kN

Hence for V1992 pipe one Channel 150 x75 is sufficient ... hence OK

d) Dished end Pipe Support:-

600 mm deep plate is used to support at dished end.
Maximum Length of weld (Vertical) = 600+600 =1200 mm = 120cm.
The capacity of full penetration weld (given) = 300 N/cm.

Hence shear resisted by Plate = 120 x300 = 36000 N = 36kN. > 33.260 kN ... hence OK
