API 650 Pipe Column Design

This document provides design calculations for a pipe column according to API 650 standards. It includes the geometry, material properties, loads, section properties, and checks for axial stress, combined axial and bending stresses, and slenderness. The column has a diameter of 18 inches, thickness of 0.375 inches, and length of 50 feet. It is subjected to an axial load of 30,000 lbs and moment of 10,000 ft-lbs. The calculations show the column satisfies requirements for axial stress, combined stresses, and slenderness with safety factors applied.

Pipe Column Design per API 650
A. Introduction
API 650 requires that the columns be designed per AISC or other approved standard. These columns are
designed using the latest edition of AISC with temperature modification factors per API 650, Appendix M.
