bending capacity of clamp connector
bending capacity of clamp connector
(OP)
I got API research report "bending moment capacity calculations for special API clamp / hub combinations" from the following link:
http://global.ihs.com/doc_detail.cfm?currency_code...=
unfortunately, it has not governing equations for determination of bending capacity and it seems that they should be extracted from fortran program which is not presented in the report.
can anybody help me to find governing equations of bending capacity of clamp connectors?
Kellogg method or pressure equivalent method even with correction factor (kove's factor)doesn't make sense for maximum bending capacity calculation of clamp connectors.
appreciate for any kind of help

AS Saplanti correctly says, most vendors have tabulated external load limits. These are particularly useful since torsional moment is a contentious issue in a clamp.
