Buried Steel Pipe Radius of Curvature
Buried Steel Pipe Radius of Curvature
(OP)
I am installing a 42" welded steel water main. The pipe is epoxy coated with 0.500" wall thickness. The trench will fit the terrain with 1500 meter circular vertical curves. If I dig the trench to this design, will the pipe conform to the curve when placed in the trench.
I have googled trying to find a "rule of thumb" minimum radius for this pipe to no avail. Browsing this forum I am impressed with the knowledge and expierence dislayed and would appreciate any help or comments.
