Calculation of the horizontal thrust on fixed pipe racks due to high-temperature and high-pressure steam pipes
Thread Content
I would like to ask my colleagues: For a steam pipeline with a pressure of 9.8 MPa (absolute pressure), a temperature of 535°C, and a flow rate of 300 tons per hour, what diameter is appropriate? How is the horizontal thrust on a fixed bracket calculated? How is the thrust at the elbow calculated? How much is each? Calculate using the formula specified in that standard? Thank you all!
If it is a power pipeline, the calculations can be carried out using the formulas provided in the design specifications for steam pipelines in power plants; calculation software can also be used for more detailed computations.
It is a steam pipeline that transports steam from outside the power plant’s boundary to other chemical plants; it should belong to GC1 class pressure pipelines, and there are no design specifications for power plant steam pipelines available! Could you please specify the name of the standard? Thank you!
