wallthick 0.0.4

PD8010 wall thickness calculations.

Wallthick

This library calculates the required wall thickness and recommended test pressures for a single walled subsea flowline in accordance with allowable stress design code PD 8010-2.

The calculations consider the following criterion:

• Internal pressure (hoop stress)
• Hydrostatic collapse
• Local buckle propagation

Along with pressures for the following hydrostatic tests:

• Strength test
• Leak test

Uses click cli to run calculations, i.e.:

$ wallthick path/to/input/file

For example:

$ wallthick inputs/inputs.json

Gives the following output in the terminal:
