Thrust Block for 8" SS Buried Pipeline
Thrust Block for 8" SS Buried Pipeline
(OP)
Hello,
I just want to ask if thrust block is needed for underground pipe (8" -Stainless Steel)? What are the criteria should I consider inorder to know if the pipeline is qualified for using thrust block? For all I know, I used only thrust block for FRP buried line.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
marchie

Any pipeline with restrained joints (welded pipe, etc.) does not need thrust blocks as the thrust is carried in the wall of the pipe.

I try to avoid using concrete thrust blocks. However, I have had clients who trust concrete blocks more than joint restraints in spite of my best efforts to persuade them otherwise. I even had one client who insisted on adding thrust blocks to my restrained joints.

Yes that's what I mean. I already read an article and references regarding thrust block and mostly it is all about non-metallic pipe.

You get plenty of metallic pipes which push fit together and plenty of non metallic pipe which are a single length or which fuse or glue or screw together to provide the required strength to resist the end cap force at changes of direction or tees.
