Allowable deflection of pipe?
Allowable deflection of pipe?
(OP)
HI guys,
Anyone know how to consider allowable deflection of pipe? As I found, it seemed each engineering company have difference value of allowable deflection of pipe for design.
Thanks,
Dave

I typically work through the mechanics under full bore load (i.e. maximum pressure testing @ 1.5 MOP) and add the external loads as boundry conditions to the supports.
You can also get similar equations from API reference material. Try pipe supplier websites, they do provide spreadsheet services on the various API equations.
