Abstract

Pipe saddle support is a structure commonly used to support horizontal steel pipe. It prevents direct contact between the pipe and the support. Pipe saddle support can experience displacement due to pipe movement and insufficient stress analysis. Given these concerns, conducting a load test is essential to determine the stress on pipe saddle supports. However, a universal testing machine (UTM) is not suitable for this purpose due to the size limitation. Therefore, this study proposed a test rig setup for the pipe saddle support load test. The test rig consists of a portal frame secured by an underground locking system featuring a strong floor. Additionally, an actual pipe is utilized to replicate actual loading conditions on the pipe saddle support. The applied load is measured using a load cell, with a custom-designed bracket to ensure precise load transfer. Finally, the pipe saddle support specimen is bolted to a base support to maintain stability during the load test. Stress analysis using finite element analysis (FEA) demonstrated that the test rig is suitable for conducting load tests on the specimens with a maximum force of 80 kN. FEA confirmed that the test rig operates within a safety factor of 1.3.

Abstract

Pipe support is a crucial infrastructure in the oil and gas industry, requiring robust designs to withstand various loads and maintain operational stability. While numerical analysis is commonly used to assess the interaction between pipelines and supports, experimental testing remains essential for validation. However, field testing is often costly and difficult due to safety constraints. To overcome this, a reliable test rig with minimal deflection is needed to ensure accurate experimental results. This study uses finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate both a goalpost pipeline support and a newly developed portal frame test rig. The test rig was analyzed under two conditions: the failure load of the goalpost support and an amplified load with a factor of 2.5 to simulate unexpected scenarios. Results show the test rig can safely withstand loads up to 40 kN, meeting the EN 1990 safety factor requirement of 1.5. Furthermore, critical components remained within the deflection limit specified by the British Constructional Steelwork Association (BCSA), which is under L/1,000 of the beam length. These results confirm the structural integrity and suitability of the portal frame test rig for accurate testing of the goalpost pipeline support structure.
