Bourdon Effect in Unrestrained Pipes
Unrestrained pipe elongation of pipe from pressure consists of two parts, First part is elongation due to
pressure load on end cap. The second part is pipe shortening due to Hook’s law.

ifthe left end is connected to pressure vessel nozzle or rotary equipment, then axial force in the equipment nozzle will
be N as calculated above. But when equipment manufacturers calculate allowable loads, they assume that nozzle has end
cap and vessel is under pressure. This means that axial stress caused by pressure is already included into allowable loads and
should not be considered twice.

This means that we must exclude the pressure thrust load from axial force to calculate the support load
that can be compared to allowable load on nozzle. To do this we must assume that pipe has two caps on the
both ends. In this case the support load R will be equal to internal force WV minus thrust force on the end cap,
i.e, zero

Sallow - Allowable stress
Thermal expansion has no effect on unrestrained piping systems, i.e. this equation usually used for
sustained and occasional stress check in piping systems from pressure, weight and other force-based loads
The code equations were created for manual calculation. But now most of pipe stress analysis software
can consider Bourdon effect. This means that code equations should be modified to match the current level of
technology.
Axial force N in START-PROF is always calculated considering Bourdon effect, thus we should subtract (PD/4t)A value
from axial force otherwise it will be included twice:

Bourdon Effect in Restrained Pipes

For a restrained pipe with two anchors on both ends, thermal and pressure expansion should be zero
AL=0
The axial force required to compress the pipe back to its original length can be calculated from this equation

AL=—

Therefore support load should be:
AL: EA

The value of axial force can be obtained from the equilibrium conditions near the anchor. Axial force is equal to reaction

‘The strength criteria for partially restrained pipes should be from sustained primary loads:

Primary - are force driven not self-limiting loads like weight, pressure, relief vaive thrust, wind, etc.
hpsed ruboprovd ubaseldocstardWebHelp_entethoePressuehim aesareroo Bourdon Elect
Secondary - are displacement driven self-limiting loads like thermal expansion, anchor movements,
support or soil settlement, etc.
Unrestrained and fully restrained pipe conditions can be easily calculated manually, but third condition require using of pipe
stress analysis software, because spring stiffness k depends on connected pipes.
Bourdon Effect Modeling in PASS/START-PROF
PASS/START-PROF software considers pressure Bourdon effect in arbitrary piping model. START-PROF
model the pressure loads consist of two parts.
Firstly, START-PROF adds pressure thrust foree Neao = Pat(D — 2t)*/4 on each end ofthe pipe

Secondly, START-PROF adds axial deformation for each pipe. It equal to pipe thermal elongation minus pressure
shortening, also known as Bourdon effect. Pipe total axial expansion will be
PL (D—2t)* Ei
AL = a ATL 2v- > W TL — vq
E D?—(D—2t) E
The combination of these two loads allows correct modeling any type of piping: unrestrained, restrained,
and partially restrained.
Bourdon effect makes a significant contribution to the support loads, displacements, and stresses for
+ High pressure piping
+ Plastic piping (PE, PP, PB, PVC)
+ FRP/GRP/GRE piping
START-PROF always preforms analysis with Bourdon effect.
Bourdon Effect Modeling
Expansion Joints
Internal pressure creates unbalanced forces acting on caps and convolutions of bellows (a), causing
stretch in unrestrained pipelines (b). If the piping is restrained between supports, it cannot expand and
passes thrust force onto supports (c).

START-PROF axial expansion joint model is shown in following figure. Pipe pressure balances part of
thrust force in a not pressure balanced axial expansion joint; therefore, during analysis loads equal to the
thrust force difference for the pipe and axial expansion joint are applied to nodes on either side of the axial
expansion joint.

n Effect in Bends
Bourdon effect is the straightening of a bend with initial ovalization due to internal pressure. This affects
resulting displacements and loads on supports. Bourdon effect appears only when the ovalization factor is a >
0.
To model Bourdon effect, bending moments M, acting in the bend plane are automatically applied to
bends. Their value is calculated based on formulas deduced according to [1] and [2]:
where
ao - ovalization factor, %
kp - bend yield factor,
Kk, - factor describing the effect of cross-section ellipticity on bend axis skewing,
R - bend axis radius.
