Suction and discharge pipe of gas engine pump
Suction and discharge pipe of gas engine pump
(OP)
I am checking pipe stress analysis on suction and discharge pipe of gas engine pump. Now I check only static stress and consider nozzle load of pump only.
Do you think we should consider dynamic stress for these pipe? Also, what do we need data from pump manufacturer for this calculation?
Many thanks,
Brian M.

RE: Suction and discharge pipe of gas engine pump
If you mean that you have a typical centrifugal pump, but the driver for the pump is a gasoline engine, then I don't see an issue with dynamics there.
