Determination of Secondary Encasement Pipe Design Pressure

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/805380· OSTI ID:805380

This document published results of iterative calculations for maximum tank farm transfer secondary pipe (encasement) pressure upon failure of the primary pipe. The maximum pressure was calculated from a primary pipe guillotine break. Results show encasement pipeline design or testing pressures can be significantly lower than primary pipe pressure criteria.
