2 Input the design margin for capacity. This value may refer to client requirements (state in design basis) or follow API
14 E, Table 2.1
3 Design Data :
-Input all required design data (fluid properties)
-select pipe material, this will impact to pipe roughness value
-input correction factor for pipe roughness (in case using the existing pipe), value larger than 1
-Input line length
-Input elevation of pipe at source and at destination
4 Calculate Dmin with equation 2.13 from API RP 14 E to define the minimum diameter required (flowrate already
accommodated with margin).
5 Calculate velocity for each possible diameter with equation 2.13 from API RP 14 E.
6 Determination of pressure drop in a line should include the effects of valves and fittings. Input all required data for
fittings. These data will be used to calculate total pressure drop from source to destination (hydraulic calculation).
7 Calculate the Reynold Number (Re)
8 Moody Friction Factor can be calculated based on Swamee Jain equation. This equation is used to solve directly for
the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor f for a fullflowing circular pipe. It is an approximation of the implicit Colebrook–
White equation. The Swamee-Jain Equation is accurate to 1.0% of the Colebrook-White Equation for 10 -6<є/D<10-2
and 5,000 < Re<10 8 ( source :http://piping-designer.com/Friction_Factor)
- If operating pressure > 50 psig (3.5 barg), use equation 2.17 from API RP 14 E.
- If operating pressure < 50 psig (3.5 barg), use empirical Spitzglass equation 2.12 from API RP 14 E.
- Calculate ring frequency of pipe (Hz) and strouhal frequency of flow (f o); based on Hydrocarbon Processing, James
G. Seebold - Standard Oil Co. of California, San Fransisco
- Calculate sound level for each octave band center frequency (f c) defined; SPL = 40 log U + 20 log K - 10 log [(T/D)
(1+6/D)] - 5 log [(fc/fr) (1-fc/fr)] + S; based on Hydrocarbon Processing, James G. Seebold - Standard Oil Co. of
California, San Fransis
- Calculate overall SPL for each given fc; Average SPL = 10 log {(1/n)[10^(SPL1/10)+…+10^(SPLn/10)]}
Select the line size (NPS and Sch) then check the following criteria :
- velocity, pipe size ia adequate if the velocity is within the range of allowable velocity
- pressure drop (psi) /100 ft or pressure drop (bar)/100m, pipe size is adquate if the pressure drop is below the
11 maximum pressure drop criteria
- outlet pressure, pipe size is adequate if the outlet pressure is greater than the minimum outlet pressure.
- noise criteria, not exceed 85 dB.
For the calculation require only velocity and pressure drop criteria, please select the following spreadsheet :
