    The document provides information on calculating wind loads on piping using tables and formulas. Table 12-10 lists wind designations from calm to hurricane based on wind speed in miles per hour. Table 12-11 gives wind pressure in pounds per square foot corresponding to different wind velocities. Table 12-12 lists shape factors used to calculate the wind load based on the projected area and outside diameter of the pipe. The wind load is calculated using the design wind pressure, shape factor, and outside diameter of the pipe.

    Piping Wind Loads:-

    Tables 12-10 through 12-12 can be used to calculate wind loads.


    The wind pressure (P) in lb/ft2 on a flat surface normal to the direction the wind
    for any given velocity (V) in miles/hr is given quite accurately by the formula:
    P = 0.004V2

    Table 12-11 gives the pressure per square foot on a flat surface normal to the
    direction of the wind for different velocities as calculated by the preceding
    formula.
    The design wind pressure at the location of a given pipeline should be applied to
    the projected area of the outside of the pipe (or insulation) to determine a
    uniformly distributed load as follows:
    (P) (Cs) (D)
    W=
    144

    Where,
    P = Design wind pressure, lb/ft2
    Cs= Shape factor (See Table 12-12)
    D = Outside diameter of pipe (or insulation), in.
    W= Wind load (lb/in) pounds per linear foot of pipe

    The design wind pressure depends on the location of the vessel or stack. The
    U.S.A. Standard Building Code Requirements for Minimum Design Loads, in
    Buildings and Other Structures, A58.1-1972, and the Uniform Building Code
    include a table showing wind pressure at various heights, and a map where these
    values apply.
    More tables have been developed according to wind velocity in miles/hr,
    wind pressure lb/ft2, with reference to a pipe outside diameter. These tables are
    very useful for computer data input to model uniform wind load on piping.
