LittleInch it a bit complicated [ponder], and highly confidential but anyways here it is[thumbsup]
having all the pipe data (i presume u have)
first calculate the # hoop stress
then # maximum allowable stress
then # thermal stresses
now from code b31.8 we have
max bending stress= maximum...
does any one know what basically is meant by elastic bending radius....?
what its significance...??
after all the calculation of elastic bending i got a value of 261.6 m for a 16 inch pipe .what does this show....?
and finally then what is the difference between the cold(24D) ,hot bending(5D)...
