Buried Tees in Pipelines
Buried Tees in Pipelines
(OP)
What are the issues of overstressing buried Tees due to longitudinal movement of buried pipelines? Delta T is about 100 degF, and pressure ranges between 0 and 2500 psi. Is the prospect of Tees being overstressed due pipeline movement worth the analysis to confirm that there isn’t a problem? Anyone have any horror stories to share if this might be a problem?
