 Introduction

PRELIMINARY PIPELINE SURGE ANALYSIS

1.0 Objective

The objective of this calculation is to determine the potential for surge in a pipeline, the method of calculating surge is via the
Joukowsky equation. This method is conservative hence any indication of surge given by this method should be evaluated fully.

2.0 Nomenclature

Symbol Description Units

c Acoustic Velocity m/s

d Pipeline Inside Diameter mm
E Youngs Modulus bar
e Pipeline Wall Thickness mm
K Liquid Bulk Modulus of Elasticity bar
L Pipeline Length m
P Pipeline Period s
Pp Pipeline Peak Pressure bara
Ps Pipeline Instantaneous Surge Pressure bar
Pso Pipeline Shutoff Pressure bara
v Fluid Velocity m/s
W Fluid Flowrate kg/h
r Fluid Density kg/m3
h Poissons Ratio -

3.0 Calculation Procedure

3.1 Calculate Fluid Velocity

v = 353.7 * W / (d2 * r )

3.2 Calculate the Acoustic Velocity

c = ((K *100000) / ( r * ( 1 + ((d*K)/(E * e)) * (1 - h2))))1/2

3.3 Calculate the Pipeline Period

P=2*L/c

3.4 Calculate the Instantaneous Surge Pressure

Ps = r * v * c / 100000

3.5 Calculate the Peak Pressure

Pp = Ps + Pso
