Stress Analysis Of Column Piping System : Skirt Temperature/Expansion Calculation

                                         Stress Analysis Of Column Piping System

Skirt Temperature/Expansion Calculation:
              To Calculate the thermal expansion of  skirt, Following formula is generally used by many organization. This calculation is base on equation mentioned in Bechtel Spec.3PS-PL008, Appendix A-A.8.

Average Skirt Temperature=(T-Ta) F+ Ta

Where, Ta=Ambient Temperature

              T=Temperature at the top of the Skirt;

              h = Skirt Height

              T = Skirt Wall Thickness. &

  
          Generally, organization maintain on Excel sheet format to avoid manual calculation. 

Skirt Temperature/Expansion

       In above attached picture, Column temperature profile is calculated by using Average Method Or By Division Method 
But in both this case, Calculation of temperature profile is by same above mention question.
