Strength in slotted pipe
Strength in slotted pipe
(OP)
We have a 7" 32# 13% Cr L-80 casing that we want to cut slots into. The dimentions of the slots will be :
Width: 1,5 mm - 4 mm
Length: 63 mm
My question is, many slots pr. ft could I make to keep the same compression and tensile strength in this casing joint?
Have someone out there done calculations for such?
Thanks

Answer: It is impossible to remove portions of the pipe and keep the same tensile strength.
Additionally, my comment about compressive and tensile strengths being equal applies only when the geometries are the same.
