Thanks KevinNZ. in your snapshot, the displacement in y-direction is 450mm, even though the expansion length is only 70 m on one side and 20 m on other side. Can you check why we are encountering this high displacement? The displacement should not be more than 100mm considering CS pipe...

Can you share your email id? I will send you the Caesar-II file for better understanding...

Its a 3Km long surface laid flowline. X at each end represents crossings which can be considered as anchor point as buried depth is approx 3 m the lateral deflection is at the bend in horizontal direction. pipe is SCH 120. Expansion coefficient is calculated by Caesar software, we just have to...

The client has asked to use design temp120°C for stress analysis purpose and line is laying directly on ground without any coatng

I am performing stress analysis of above ground surface laid flowline with buried portion only at crossings (road, existing facilities etc.). the MOC is API 5L Gr-B and the design code we are using is ASME B31.8. In one of the section of the flowline, we are having an IP (change in direction)...
