ID REFERENCE DESCRIPTION
COMPUTER INPUT DATA
Piping Code Is correct piping code (B31.3, B31.4, B31.8, EN13480 etc) used?
Numbering Is the calculation number correct and according to project procedure?
Units Are correct units ?
Pipe Spec Is the correct pipe spec (diameter, thickness, material properties, corrosion allowance,
fabrication tolerances, weld joint factor etc)?


Fluid Is the density of internal fluid correct or conservative?
Pressure Correct pressures (design, operating, hydro test)?
Temperature Correct temp (installation, ambient, operating, high & low design)?
Insulation Insulation density and thickness?
Weights Correct weight of flanges, bolts, valves and valve actuators?
Equipment

Are the locations of fixed and sliding supports correctly modelled?
Are nozzle movements due to temperature, live-and dead loads applied?
Is nozzle to shell flexibility correctly applied, if ?
Acceleration Earthquake, Wave-induced, Lifting, Landing, directions?
Deflection Structural Deflections (Live load, Lifting, SAG/HOG etc) ?
Blast Is the drag pressure, structural deflections, Cd, and DLF correct? ?
Wind Is the wind speed, relevant directions and Cd coefficient correct? ?
Reaction Forces Typical: PSV relief, Bursting Disc, Flare Ignition, Fluid Hammer,
Surge,

Slugs, adequate use of dynamic load factors, DLF?
Dynamic Analysis Unrealistic results are ca by springs, gaps, friction, no guides, no
added mass from seawater, etc. ?
Load cases Relevant combination of load cases including code req. ?
3D Model Geometry Coordinates and pipe routing according to ISO drawing? ?
Restraints/supports?
Are functions according to stress isometrics or pipe support drawing? ?
Are the restraints modelled realistically (gaps, stiffness, friction, etc.)? ?
Fatigue Are fatigue cycles and stress range input realistic (ref. PD 5500)? ?
CALCULATIONS AND OUTPUT
FEA Calculation output
Have all relevant load-cases been analysed? Are combinations of loadcases ?
realistic?


Are deflections and loads at restraints and equipment nozzles OK? ?
Are strains and stresses calculated within code allowed and is the allowable?
stress correct according to the piping code ? Have SIFs and?
SCFs been included according to code requirements? ?
Are results from fatigue and dynamic analysis realistic and conservative? ?
Stress Iso Drawing Check tables with input data & output results. Data nodes, pipe-
supports,

weights, boundary conditions, references and notes. Signed the drawing.
Hand calculations to be
included in the Pipe Stress?
Report Appendices
Have thrust-load calculations as input for FEA been reviewed and
filed? ?
Have stress calculations of special components, flange leakage calculations and fatigue
calculations been performed? ?


Special vendor info such as reaction loads from PSV and flare tip filed?
