I'm not sure if I posted this image correctly. Hope this clarifies the situation.
I checked the section of pipe against ASME B31.3 Pipe Wall Thickness Under External Pressure. For 5 inches between stiffeners (i.e. web and end plate) I got a Maximum Allowable Pressure of 1515psi. My applied...
The skid is vertically oriented such that the pump load is eccentric from slings, not directly below.
There are I-beams, which make up the sides of the skid, near both ends of the pipe. The webs are welded to the pipe wall. Thus the load from the pump is transferred to the pipe via the beams...
I am checking a 6" XS pipe in a crane lift configuration.
A 1.5" wire rope with a soft eye will be slung around each end of the pipe which is part of a skid holding a 50 000lb pump.
I'm trying to determine whether or not the pipe wall will buckle. The maximum sling tension is 38 350lbs.
A...
Prex, how would I go about solving this problem on paper? Where did you find the fomula for deflection of a plate with these boundary conditions? I saw the formula on the xcalcs.com website but I'm confused as to how I can calculate a deflection using it.
Cheers
