    Buoyancy Calculation

    Uploaded by

    HerruSetiawan
    This document provides calculations to determine the buoyancy control for a pipeline. It includes inputs like the pipe diameter, wall thickness, densities of water, pipe material, and coatings. It then calculates the weight of the pipe, coatings, and contents to determine the buoyancy force. It finds the pipe has a specific gravity less than 1.1, requiring counterweights. It also calculates the size and weight of a concrete weight needed every 12 meters to offset buoyancy in a swamp area.

    Check for pipe floatation with allowable 1.1 SG


    Check Float = " Counter Weight Required!!!" if SG ≤ 1.1
    " Counter Weight Not Required!!!" otherwise

    Check Float = Counter Weight Required!!!


    2.2 Concrete Weight Calculation

    a = 150 mm
    b = 188.3 mm
    c = 100 mm
    d = 150 mm
    e = 150 mm
    f = 94.15 mm
    g = 300 mm
    h = 150 mm

    Acw = 0.081 m

    Volume of concrete weight

    Vcw = A cw . C

    Vcw = 0.008 m

    Weight of concrete weight

    Wcw = V cw . ϒconc
    Wcw = 19.32 kg

    Buoyant force due to fluid displaced by concrete weight

    Bcw = V cw . ρw
    Bcw = 8.050 kg

    Effective set on weight Buoyancy force each pipe joint

    Weff = W cw - Bcw BS = (BF . L) - (W pipe . L)


    Weff = 11.271 kg BS = -6.405 kg

    Hence concrete weight required for each pipe joint 12 m (T)

    T = 0.57 ≈ 1.00

    Each length (12 m) of line pipe shall be installed with additional 1 concrete weight to laid down the
    pipeline in swamp area
