6.0 PIPE WALL THICKNESS SELECTION

6.1 GENERAL
Minimum Pipe wall thickness for submarine pipelines / risers is initially calculated
considering the functional loads and subsequently checked against collapse and buckling
requirements.
The minimum and nominal pipe wall thickness is calculated for the following design
criteria:
 Hoop Stress
 Buckle Initiation
 Buckle Propagation
 Collapse from external pressure
From the design formulae, which determine the minimum wall thickness, the
corresponding nominal wall thickness is calculated considering the corrosion allowance.
6.2 HOOP STRESS
The minimum wall thickness for internal pressure will be determined as per IP6, formulae
given below. Thickness calculated based on IP6 is more conservative than that worked out
based on clause 4.2.2 of DNV Rules for Submarine Pipeline System, 1981.
t = Pi D/ 2 SMYS a
Where,
Pi = Internal design pressure
D = Pipe outside diameter
SMYS = Specified Minimum Yield Strength of pipe material, N/mm²
a = Design factor
tm = Minimum wall thickness
tn = tm + Corrosion allowance ‐ for straight pipe
DESIGN BASIS
No additional thinning allowance will be considered for bends; however pipes with positive
tolerance shall be used for bend fabrication.
6.3 BUCKLE INITIATION
The actual minimum wall thickness for buckle initiation is calculated as per formulae given
below:
tm = D [50 PE / (D‐t)]0.4845
Where,
tmi = Buckle initiation minimum wall thickness
E = Young’s modulus
PE = External pressure
= ρ.g.d
ρ = Sea water density
g = Acceleration due to gravity
d = Water depth
= Maximum water depth + tide + surge + ½ wave height
D = Pipe outside diameter
Nominal wall thickness
tn = tmi + Corrosion allowance
Pressure for buckle initiation is calculated as below,
PINT = 0.02 E (t/D)2.064
Where,
t = Actual nominal wall thickness

6.4 BUCKLE PROPAGATION
The nominal wall thickness excluding corrosion allowance, tnp will be calculated as per
DNV
The design nominal wall thickness tn is given by
tn = tnp + Corrosion allowance
Pressure for buckle propagation
Pprop = 1.15 π SMYS [t / (D – t)]2
Where,
t = Actual nominal wall thickness

DESIGN BASIS
6.5 PIPE COLLAPSE

A pipeline resting on the sea floor is checked against Collapse due to External Pressure. For
a pipe with a degree of out of roundness, the wall thickness for pipe collapse tmc is
calculated as follows:
Where,
U = Ovality %
ν = Poisson’s ratio
tmc = Design minimum wall thickness for collapse
a = Safety factor
Nominal wall thickness
tn = tmc + Corrosion allowance

6.6 SELECTION
The nominal wall thickness for the pipeline is worked out based on the nearest available
wall thickness as per API 5L which is equal or greater than the nominal wall thickness
satisfying the requirement of hoop stress, buckle initiation, buckle propagation and collapse
pressure.
7.0 PIPELINE ROUTING
The optimum route shall be shortest possible and have least number of technical
Constraints, while selecting the route, the following factors will be taken into account:
i) Optimise pipeline length.

ii) Avoid any obstructions, shoaling areas, coral reefs, unstable soil conditions, and pock marks
where feasible.
iii) Minimise pipelines free spans and crossings.
iv) Safety of the existing pipeline
v) As far as possible the route shall be perpendicular to bathymetric or contour lines.
vi) Horizontal separation between the pipeline and the nearest parallel line/ cable shall be at
least 50m. The spacing may be reduced to 10m at shore approach.
vii) Pipeline elastic curvature shall result in bending stress not exceeding 10% of SMYS.
Additionally the pipeline route shall not impair in‐place stability of the pipeline system.
viii) Crossing angle with existing pipelines/ cables shall be at least 30o and as close as possible
to the in‐plane perpendicular. A minimum separation gap of 0.3 m or more shall be insured
and maintained.
DESIGN BASIS
8.0 PIPELINE STABILITY
Proposed Submarine pipeline to be buried in the near shore area within a minimum clear
over equal to the diameter of the pipeline Since the Pipeline will be laid in the Port area,
while arriving at depth of burial, the future expansion plan of the port should be taken into
consideration.
Pipeline resting on seabed will be subjected to hydrodynamic forces generated by the

waves and currents, which tend to move the pipeline laterally. Pipeline must be stable to
resist this lateral movement during the phase of its installation and operation. Resistance to
lateral movement is provided by the frictional force between pipe and soil, which in turn
depends on the submerged weight of the pipe and coefficient of lateral friction between the
pipe and soil.
The on‐bottom stability analysis shall be performed in accordance with DNV RP F109 using
in‐house Excel spreadsheets
The concrete weight coating dry density of 3044 kg/m3 shall be used to determine concrete
weight coating thickness. Uncorroded wall thickness will be used for installation condition
and half corroded wall thickness will be used for operating condition. For operating
condition, 8% water absorption by volume (2.7 % by concrete weight) will be used for
concrete weight coating. No marine growth will be considered for pipeline on‐bottom
stability.
9.0 CONCRETE WEIGHT COATING
24” dia submarine portion of pipeline is to be applied with reinforced concrete coating with
suitable thickness to maintain average density of concrete @ 3044 kg/m3. Concrete weight
coating Thickness to be maintained as 70 mm. Minimum compressive strength to be
maintained as 40 MPa.
The concrete coating shall be reinforced by steel bars welded to cages or by wire mesh
steel. The average percentage of steel to concrete surface area in circumferential direction
and longitudinal direction to be maintained minimum 0.5% and 0.08% respectively.
Concrete weight coating to be designed as per DNV ‐ OS – F101.
10.0 PIPE LINE FITTINGS & FLANGES
All pipeline material such as valves, flanges and fittings etc. are adopted of class 300# rating
and flanges are in accordance with the American Standard ASME B16.5.
11.0 CATHODIC PROTECTION
The submarine portion of proposed pipeline to be protected against external corrosion

with Impressed Current Cathodic Protection (ICCP) to ensure its continued safe operation.
The structures that are above ground shall be electrically isolated by Isolation Joints (IJs)
and, as such, would not require any further Cathodic Protection (CP). The onshore
underground portion is to be protected by sacrificial Anode System. The design life for the
Anodes to be used in both the cases to be of 35 years.

FACILITY DESCRIPTION
FACILITY OVERVIEW
Visakha‐Vijaywada‐Secunderabad Pipeline (VVSPL) is having the infrastructure in place for
design throughput of 5.38 MMT. HSD share, out of the above, is 70% i.e. 3.77 MMT. Average
HSD input to VVSPL for pipeline transfer from Visakh Refinery (VR) is 2.74 MMT only. Due
to this VVSPL is starving of HSD input to saturate the present pipeline Design Capacity and
constrained to operate at reduced capacity of 4.38 MMT in spite of market available at
respective delivery locations. VVSPL thru put is further lost especially during unplanned
shut down of VR due to product shortage at VR / Jetty congestion at Port, mismatch of
product tanker receipt at Port.
Accordingly to bridge the gap / shortfall, the coastal input requirement of HSD to the tune
of 1 MMT, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited‐Visakh Vijayawada Secunderabad
Pipeline (HPCL‐VVSPL) proposed to augment the Tanker Discharge Facilities at
Visakhapatnam Port for receiving exclusive product HSD, by creating a connectivity
between OSTT jetty and SS Jetty by laying a submarine Pipeline from Off Shore Tanker
Terminal (OSTT) jetty to Sunken Ship Jetty (SS Jetty). OSTT Jetty having surplus berth
occupancy time and connecting the same by 24” dia. pipeline with existing SS Jetty 24” dia.
pipeline of HSD, connected to ATP would generate extra input of HSD to VVSPL. For
unloading the HSD at OSTT Jetty, 1 Nos. dedicated Marine Unloading arm is also required to
be installed at OSTT Jetty along with associated piping & valve installation to reduce the
berthing time. One existing unloading arm for Crude to be used as standby for HSD
unloading for which modification in piping & valve is envisaged. To accomplish the full
benefit of draft at OSTT Jetty, calling 150000 DWT tankers, provision of additional product
tanks for HSD are also required to be established at Additional Tankage Project area / New
White Oil Terminal at Visakha refinery in due course of time.
The new 24” dia. pipeline connectivity from OSTT to SS Jetty will result in utilizing the
existing OSTT Jetty for tanker discharge of finished petroleum products, de congestion of SS
Jetty, OR1 & OR2 Jetties, less idle time for Ocean tankers berthing at Visakh port for
discharge etc. and thereby better turnaround of Ocean Tankers. By the introduction of the
new tie up and facilities on OSTT Jetty, it is envisaged that regular tanker of 60,000 DWT
can berth with provision of berthing maximum tanker size of 150,000 DWT also and
discharge HSD at OSTT Jetty to existing tanks at VR ‐ ATP / New White Oil Terminal of
HPCL. However certain jetty modification is required to accommodate LOA of 150,000
DWT tanker in future. The above facility can eventually save loss of 60 tanker days which
are currently being incurred at SS Jetty, OR I & OR II.
