Calculation and Design for pipeline anchor flange

Hi crajkumar: please see "pipelines rules of thumb" handbook by McCallister. There you see the equations and manual procedure calculation design. If you don´t have it, please tell me or give me an email to send it. best regards from Venezuela

crajkumar: You do not list the flange rating but here is my best explanation. Design a plate of steel with the width and length that matches the OD of the flange. The thickness of the plate should be the flange thickness X .125 rounded up to the nearest 1/8" or more. Position the top of the plate to horizontal centerline of the flange and cut a half moon out of the center to clear the weld neck and drill the plate to match the flange bolt holes. Weld the lower portion of the plate to a stand pipe embedded in concrete (Example: 30"-150# Flange Plate 48 1/2" sq. Thickness is 5 7/8" x .125= .7343 use 3/4" thk plate. Half moon cut in top 17 1/2" Radius. 3 1/8" dia. bolt holes on 21 3/8" radius of bolt circle 10 required) also add thickness of the plate to the length of half the flange bolts. The size of the stand pipe and the diameter and dept of the concrete will depend on the elevation and forces from the piping. For more info. rflaurin@prou.com
