DESIGN FACTOR
The ratio between the allowable operating (hoop) stress in a pipeline and its yield stress.
The hoop stress caused by the internal pressure of the transported fluid will determine the
pipe wall thickness.

Hoop stress is given by the formula;

PD
 op 
2t
Where: op = operating stress (psi)
P = pressure (psi)
D = diameter (inches)
t = wall thickness (inches)
POPULATION DENSITY –
LOCATION CLASS
the term population density index has been eliminated

Location Class
the number of buildings intended for human occupancy for an onshore
pipeline

lay out a zone ¼ mile wide along the route of the pipeline with the
pipeline on the center line of this zone, and divide the pipeline into
random sections 1 mile in length such that the individual lengths will
include the maximum number of buildings intended for human
occupancy
1 mile

¼ mile
LIQUID PIPELINE

 There is no requirement to take account of population

density in pipeline design or routing
 No specified minimum separation distance from occupied
buildings
 Pipeline design factor of 0.72 in any location
GAS PIPELINE
 Wall thickness and design factor are determined in relation to
Location Class
 Minimum distance from occupied buildings required
 Design factor as low as 0.3/0.4 in populated areas

LOCATION CLASS – SNI #83
LOCATION CLASS – SNI #85
LOCTION CLASS - OFFSHORE
 0.72 design factor to offshore pipelines
 increasing to 0.6 “close to the platform” (within a 500m radius)

 ISO13623 now allow the use of risk based design methods to justify a
higher design factor.
PIPELINE MATERIAL
 The most common material used to construct high pressure pipelines for
the oil & gas industry is carbon-manganese steel (iron typically with
around 0.08% carbon content and 1.5% & Manganese plus small
amounts of other alloying elements). This is prevalent because of it’s
high strength, high toughness, weld-ability and relative cheapness.

 In most parts of the world line pipe is fabricated to conform to the API
5L specification (American Petroleum Institute).

 In API 5L Pipe steel grade is identified by the yield strength, where

the number refers to the yield strength in thousands of pounds per
square inch, ksi. For example X52 has a yield strength of 52ksi or
52,000psi.

 The API 5L specification is the minimum requirement to provide

serviceable pipes and most operators impose additional requirements.

Seamless (non-welded)
a billet of hot steel is extruded by rollers around a piercer to
produce a length of pipe. This is mainly for small / medium
diameter pipe (up to a maximum of 24”) and it can be difficult
to accurately control the wall thickness and roundness (tolerances
can be +/- 15%).

Welded
oERW pipe
oSAW/UOE pipe
oand Helical (Spiral)
ERW – Steel strip is uncoiled
and passed through a
sequence of rolls to form a
pipe. The seam is pressed
together and Electrical
Resistance Welded. The pipe
is then passed through sizing
rolls and heat treated to
improve its mechanical
properties.

ERW can produce small /

medium diameter pipe (24”)
and is relatively cheap. There
can be quality problems with
the seam.
SAW / UOE – The plate is cut
to size then bent into a U
shape then an O shape. The
edges are joined by a
Submerged Arc Weld and
expanded by a hydraulic die
into a circular pipe.

This method is used for large

diameters (up to 56”) and
heavy wall pipe.
Spiral – A coil of strip is
uncoiled, straightened
and helically wound to
form a pipe. The seam is
welded using SAW.

This can produce large

diameters of pipe to
good tolerances but can
experience quality
problems in the spiral
weld.
PIPELINE COMPONENT
PIPELINE COMPONENTS - ONSHORE

The main components of an onshore pipeline system are as follows:-

 terminals
 pumping & compression
 metering
 pig traps
 valve stations
 pipeline
 storage
PIPELINE SCHEMATIC – P&ID
Flange & Gasket
 PIPELINE COMPONENTS - OFFSHORE
 Risers – offshore pipelines require a riser from the sea bed to the topside facility.
 Pumping & compression – is much more expensive
 Pig traps – can only be installed on facilities so pigging loops may be required for
flowlines.
 Valves – are only usually installed at the start and end of the line there are no
intermediate valves as with onshore lines.
 Slug catcher – as less processing is available offshore there may be liquids drop out in
gas lines requiring a slug catcher at the end of the line.
 Subsea Wyes – are required to allow future lines to tap into the export system.
