What is Scale factor ?
Scale Factor(SF) =
SF-Scale factorAS-Distance between the two points on MapPS-Distance between the two points in the Earth
Cartographers
Why we need Scale factor ?
Scale Factor in Pipelines Scale factor differs from one location to another.
We need to cover the entire ROUTE OF PIPELINE (From Source Station to Transmission Station) by calculating the Scale Factor which varies with respect to Map Projection terrain or plane or valley or any location.
Distortion and Scale factor• Longitudes starts from 0 degree meridian
line, all the longitudes forming same diameter circles on the earth.• Latitudes starts from 0 degree Equator line,
all the latitudes forming the circles, whose diameter goes on decreases, towards North & South pole.
Distortion and Scale factorEarth has different Circumference(2πr)
Distortion
Scale factor differs for every latitude
•
Map Projection• A plane is placed tangent to the Earth’s
Surface• The points are projected from the centre of the
earth to the plane gives us the parallel lines(lattitude).• Earth looks from centre point of view and
projected on to the plane and creates the image on chart/map.
CYLINDRICAL/mercator PROJECTION Cylinder placed around the equator and
makes tangent plane. Plane contains parallel lines(line at which
cylinder is tangent to equator) and projections of meridians, both maintains the same diameter in all the circles of latitude
No distortion in circumference of Earth’s Surface
Lambert Conformal Projection• Best method for mapping the pipelines mostly
preserving the • Maxi. Scale Error of 2.5%

Requirements for Scale Factor
Pipelines having different scenarioElevation, Compresssor station, buried pipeline , subsea pipeline , forest, roads , streams1. Positioning of respective elevation 2. Datum point , 3. Latitude coordinate, 4. Longitude coordinate , 5. Eccentricity from parallel lines
Steps to calculate the Scale factor for Routing the pipeline • Set the Central Meridian in your source station of
pipeline.(Eg. Pipeline layed from 12degree WEST to 36 degree EAST)• Set the standard Parallel lines within the site starts from
central meridian with the spacing of latitudes 6 degree interval.
(Eg. 12W – 36E have the range of 24 degree)So, each latitude spacing = 24/6 = 4 degree of latitude
Steps to calculate the Scale factor for Routing
the pipeline• Convert the latitude degree into Radians for
calculating the scale factor(k).• k = ( sqrt(1.0 - e2*sin(lat)*sin(lat))/cos(lat) ) *
( cos(lat1)/sqrt(1.0 - e2*sin(lat1)*sin(lat1)) )
e2 = eccentricitylat = latitude of pointlat1 = standard parallel
Map Scale & True Scale for Routing of Pipeline•Multiply the Scale factor with Map Scale and
get the True Scale value of the real world• Scale Factor Distortion is minimized by getting
scale factor from Lambert Conformal Map Projection
X,Y values from Map projection
Central meridian value
Height and width of routing area
By typing the Scale Factor we can change the Scale ratio of :
Scale factor for different Areas
Conclusion• Hence the scale factor depends on the type of map
projection for different areas, which are going to be considered for routing the pipelines.• Area may be having Elevation , Roads, Stream,
Subsea, Terrain, Forest , Protected Areas, Valley , Rivers.• Scale factor varies and also scale distortion is
reduced.
