The design and analysis of piping systems are crucial in the process and power sectors, akin to the role of the circulatory system in humans for a plant’s functionality. This study aims to optimize and confirm the wall thickness for a ClO2 generator piping system through stress analysis. It introduces a methodology based on calculations and analysis to ascertain the minimal necessary wall thickness, employing the ASME B31.3 Power Piping Code and EES software. This approach includes assessments of various loads such as static, occasional (encompassing seismic and wind forces), and thermal. The findings indicate that the required wall thickness for header pipes is 0.414 and 0.936 mm, considering internal pressure, which is substantially below the standard thicknesses of 3.733 and 5.08 mm, suggesting notable cost reductions. Additionally, the study corroborates the accuracy of these results by aligning them with the ASME Power Piping Code B31.3 and conducting a static structural analysis with ANSYS software. The research underscores the significance of fine-tuning wall thickness in piping designs to enhance budget efficiency without compromising safety standards.

摘要

The design and analysis of piping systems are crucial in the process and power sectors, akin to the role of the circulatory system in humans for a plant’s functionality. This study aims to optimize and confirm the wall thickness for a ClO2 generator piping system through stress analysis. It introduces a methodology based on calculations and analysis to ascertain the minimal necessary wall thickness, employing the ASME B31.3 Power Piping Code and EES software. This approach includes assessments of various loads such as static, occasional (encompassing seismic and wind forces), and thermal. The findings indicate that the required wall thickness for header pipes is 0.414 and 0.936 mm, considering internal pressure, which is substantially below the standard thicknesses of 3.733 and 5.08 mm, suggesting notable cost reductions. Additionally, the study corroborates the accuracy of these results by aligning them with the ASME Power Piping Code B31.3 and conducting a static structural analysis with ANSYS software. The research underscores the significance of fine-tuning wall thickness in piping designs to enhance budget efficiency without compromising safety standards.
