wall thickness calculation
(OP)
Hello all,
I want to calculate the wall thickness of 48" R=5D induction bend for onshore pipelines. (hot bend)
Is the procedure same as calculating w.t. of straight pipe acc. to B31.3?
In the standard there are som argument about SIF. Is the wall thickness of hot bends is related with SIF.
Thanks in advance.

You might check the International Pipe Association Voluntary Bending Standard (IPA VIBS-86). It gives some recommendations about calculating the wall thickness for induction bends.

Should I do something about SIF.
