Calculation of LNG pipeline supports
Thread Content
Does anyone know how to choose a manager for LNG pipelines?
How are the tray type and location determined?
Do you mean inside the cold box or outside it? The cold box also features conventional brackets, with the material changed to stainless steel and insulating layers added. There are mostly vacuum tubes outside the cold box. The specific form of the bracket must be determined through calculation or experience, based on the actual path of the pipeline.
Should we choose something like stress? Is a holder needed?
This question is too broad; I doubt anyone on the internet can give you a satisfactory answer. It’s better to discuss it carefully among colleagues around us
I have performed stress calculations for LNG pipelines, and the question raised by the original poster relates to pipeline stress analysis. In terms of supports, it involves the design of supports for low-temperature pipelines; the principles are actually the same as those applied to supports at normal temperatures, with options for sliding, fixed, or guiding types of supports. The specific type of pipe support required at each location must be determined through stress analysis.
