31.3 Formulas
31.3 Formulas
(OP)
Hello,
I have been tasked with doing a quick guesstimate/gut feel check of some piping using provided loads. I have a load table for sustained loads and occasional loads and need to evaluate sustained, occasional, and stress range due to expansion. I am encountering some good tips but I am perplexed over the exclusion of a torsion component in most formulas. It appears, on the surface, that torsion is not always accounted for. Is this the case?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it's not safe ... make it that way.
