currently i'm working in FEED project and require me to calculate the pipe collapse due to external pressure.
Based on API RP 1111, do I need to consider the out-of-roundness function in the Collapse formula.
Need some helps.
Thanks.
you need to consider the Specific Gravity of the pipeline on the seabed during installation,hydrotest and during operation.
Make sure that the Specific Gravity is equal or higher than 1.1 based on DNV-OS-F101, Oct 2010. This is because the specific gravity is depends on the submerged weight of...
hi shafmech,
based on your description above, may i know the unit of wall thickness are u refer to?....
i agree with zdas04...that's the right equation to calculate the maximum allowable hoop stress for hydrotest. but, if u have the design pressure, u need to calculate the hydrotest pressure...
