Pipe end loads
Pipe end loads
(OP)
I have a drawing showing a pump and outlet pipework from the pump, the drawing also shows position of pipe supports.
The pipwork exits the pump and immediately turns through 90 degrees and runs for 1500 mm and terminates at a flange, how would I calculate the loads and moments at the flange.
I have pressures and temperatures for the system
Thank you

RE: Pipe end loads
The whole thing may be statically undetermined but you must use your ingenuity (that is what engineers are for, and what engineering is all about). Enjoy yourself.
