Jost like an analysis withoot including the restraint eficet, an anslysig without inclnding the auppert Eriction may be meauingioss in some cases. The ‘tresiment of support friction in the pipe stress analysis is not yet well defined in peaciiey, ‘This paper will iny to outline the procedare to be used in ‘tho analysis. The paper first presents a typical problem to show the significance of the support frie~ tion. If then discusses some technignes used in the inclusion of the friction in 3. computer program. Detailed discussion i2 given in the arrangement of the analysis to comply with the piping code require- ments vf separating the sustained stress from the self-limiting stress, Special treatment of wins snd earthquake loads are also discussed, The paper deals only wily ihe static agpoet of the auaiysiz, INTRODUCTION Support feletion in a piping system can prevent the pipe from free expansion thus creating a higher stress in the pipe and 3 higher ioad on the connecting equipment. However, in certuin instances the friction can help stabilise the systew and reauce damage. Bven in dealing with pare thermal expansion, the friction oan serve ad guides thus preventing 8 large ond from being transmitted to the rotating eqnipment, ‘Therefore, there is no rule of thumb as ta whether i ig nouconservative to ignore the friction, In gene ral, when dealing with the dynamic load, the friction tenis to reduce ike magmtude of oth the pipe stress snd the equipment load, Ia this case, ite omission of the Irletion is conservative. However, there 18 no general rule goveraing ihe slate Toud. in this case, the effect of the friction need to be investigated to simulate a8 closely as possible the veal situation, 143 ‘The effect of te friction is more important in some areas, in the analysis of the long transmission pipeline [1], it is entirely the balancing of the friction force against the potential expansion force. Wishout including the friction the analysis would have been meaningless. Anatiwe arva of importance is the piping connected to the rotating equipment, The rota- ting equipment is notorious for ifs low allowable piping lode. Sometimes the frieLion sl one support Gan Conmpletely change the aveeptability of tke piping sysiem. Take the syste shown in ¥iguee 1 for instance, The restavint at 25 is Installed to protect the compressor ai 10. The effect of the friction at 25 is demonstrated by comparing the anslysia results of the case with friction against the case without tue friction, Jt is clear that the friction at restraint 25 is cignificant, By applying API STD-617 [7] eriteria, only the load caleulated with the restraint but without the friction is acceptable. The API criterin is evale~ ated separaioly and is wol included in this paper. Pipe Date :323.@mm 0,0, (22" nominal), 8.5
