Slug Loads Calc Sheet

This document contains calculations for momentum forces from slug flow at pipe elbows. It provides equations for calculating the axial and perpendicular components of slug force based on pipe radius, fluid density and velocity. Values for the axial and perpendicular force coefficients (Ka and Kp) are given for 90, 45 and 30 degree elbows. An example calculation is shown for a 78 degree elbow in a 12-inch pipe, giving values of 54.88 kN for the axial force and 67.77 kN for the perpendicular force.

17 Fsa = 4 x r A v 2 x ( sin q/2 ) x ( sin q/2 ) Fsp = 4 x r A v 2 x ( sin q/2 ) x ( cos q/2 )
