Pipes Welding

Pipes Welding

Pipes Welding

(OP)
I need to weld 2 pipes like a T diam 1", sch40 carbon steel. A torque will be applied on it. what are the calculations to determine if the welding between the two pipes will be strong enough for the use?

RE: Pipes Welding

Would you please send the torque value I will solve using finite element and I will give you the answer

RE: Pipes Welding

(OP)
As the range of the torque value can change, I need to know how much the weld will transmit before it breaks. So I need the maximum torque value that will be support by the weld.
Thanks for your help.

RE: Pipes Welding

There seems to be a lot of info missing with this question---length of pipes, wall thickness, type (ERW, DOM, etc.) type of weld (almost ANY weld or braze will be stronger than the tubing) This would be a good question on a test paper, hmmmmm!

RE: Pipes Welding

(OP)
The wall thickness is precised by the sch40 pipe for diam1" (0.133), length of the two pipes:18". Material ASTM A53, I will try different type of weld, or material strength... once I will have some calculation to work with. I already worked on the maximum torque that can be supported by the material itself. Now I just need some information about what kind of welding I can use there. If you tell me that any kind of welding will be stronger than the tubing, then I have the answer I need, except that I don't have any figure to justify it.
Thanks
