    The document summarizes a verification problem for CAEPIPE software to model the Bourdon effect in piping. A 5-node pipe model subjected to 180 psi internal pressure was modeled in CAEPIPE and hand calculations were performed. The hoop stress, longitudinal stress, and pressure deflection calculated by hand matched the CAEPIPE results within insignificant rounding differences, verifying the accuracy of CAEPIPE's modeling of the Bourdon effect.

    CAEPIPE Verification Problem for Bourdon Effect

    Introduction The purpose of this calculation is to verify CAEPIPE results for internal pressure load against the results obtained from hand calculation. Methodology In order to verify CAEPIPE results for pressure load case, a test example is set up in this document. The model has 5 nodes and four straight pipe elements of diameter 2.5 and thickness 0.035 in. The total axial (longitudinal) length of the model is 19.8 in. One end of the model is anchored and other end is free. The model is subjected to internal pressure of 180 psi applied as a static load. The Bourdon effect due to the pressure is treated as an expansion load and included in the results of expansion and operating load cases. CAEPIPE includes the effect of pressure load on a piping system as follows: The hoop stress is computed using the formula h = pr/t The longitudinal stress is computed (assuming both ends of the pipe segment are closed) using the formula l = pr/2t The Bourdon effect is included in the expansion load by checking the appropriate box in the analysis option window. If Bourdon effect is included, the axial displacement in the straight pipe segment is calculated by subtracting the axial shrinking of the pipe considering Poissons ratio effect (due to hoop stress which causes radial expansion of the pipe) from the displacement in the closed pipe due to axial growth from longitudinal stress. total_closed = long_closed -long_poisson = (prmL)/(2Et) (prmL)/(Et) = prmL(1-2) / (2Et) where for the test example solved in this document: E = Youngs modulus = 10.0 x 106 psi = Poissons ratio = 0.33 p = Internal pressure = 180 psi d0 = outside diameter of the pipe = 2.5 in t = thickness of the pipe = 0.035 in rm = (d0 t)/2 = 1.2325 r = d0/2 = 1.25 L = longitudinal length = 19.8 in. The above equation is same as equation provided in page 34 of CAEPIPE manual to compute the pressure deflection due to Bourdon effect

    Calculation. Hoop stress = h = (180x1.25)/0.035 = 6428.57 psi Longitudinal stress = l = (180x1.25)/(2x0.035) = 3214.28 psi Pressure deflection = p = (180x1.2325x19.8x0.34) / (2x10.0 x 106 x0.035) = 0.0021 in. Comparison of hand calculation results with CAEPIPE results Quantity h l p Hand calculation 6428.57 psi 3214.28 psi 0.0021 in CAEPIPE 6429 psi 3214 psi 0.0021 in % difference Insignificant (rounded off) Insignificant (rounded off) Insignificant (rounded off)

    Conclusion The CAEPIPE results for pressure load case match with hand calculation results without any significant difference.
