How much external force can pipe takes before it deforms?
(OP)
I have a 300psi dry air line that needs to run under a crushed gravel roadway in a switchyard. The current plan is to use 1" Sched 40 SS. I'm trying to decide if the pipe needs to be protected from the forces of a truck driving over top, or whether laying it 1' underground will be enough. There must be a formula for this.
Suggestions?
