Threaded Fittings in Burst Pressure Calcs
Threaded Fittings in Burst Pressure Calcs
(OP)
I'm trying to estimate the burst pressure of a relatively short section of pipe. The classical equations (Barlow, Lame, etc.) are simple enough to find but I haven't found any reference as to how to account for treaded connections on the ends. Is it really as simple as reducing the wall thickness by the depth of the threads?? On the surface (pardon the pun) it would seem more complex than that.
Thanks in advance for helping this CHEMe with limited mechanics background!

I wouldn't expect the pipe to burst inside the fitting.
