Question: Using the alternative flexibility equation for design of expansion loops, calculate the depth of a loop for a steel pipeline installed between two fixed anchors

Using the "alternative" flexibility equation for design of expansion loops, calculate the depth of a loop for a steel

pipeline installed between two fixed anchors for a 10" pipe (OD: 273.1 mm, wall thickness: 5 mm).

Assume:

Installation Temperature, -10 C, Operating temperature: 110C, Distance between two anchors, 150 m. Pipe

SMYS: 359 MPa and the pipe must be designed for a number of 7000 thermal cycles
