The drawing I've attached with short mitered 60-inch (1500 mm) pipe segments is a preliminar idea or design that the client proposed. The way to form the curve layout can be changed according to the availability of material, materials costs, labour...
LittleInch: Your post has information very useful to me.
Despite of I will look for external assistance I will answer the questions of the last paragraph.
Fluid: water
Design pressure: 10 BAR
Material of this curved plate: A53
Wall thickness you intend to use: 1/4"
Type of seam weld you intend...
TGS4: Thank you for your advice. Specifically for this work I will look for some external help.
The subject about large diameter piping system has resulted very interesting to me and I think I will continue researching about it. Thanks.
Comment for Gator: Yes, you are right. The total pipe run is to be made from 1500mm long sections fabricated from "welded curved steel plates.
Comment for LittleInch: I have attached the file in PDF version with new name DATA.
Maybe I didn't explain very well. What I looking for if is there a...
LittleInch:
Following the piece of advice "More details = better answers":
I have attached the file in PDF version (dimensions in mm). I hope it explain your question about "designing the base pipe itself" in your last paragraph.
Hypothesis: Currently I'm reading the B31.3-2008. The scope...
DSB:
I agree with you but when you have to change to the rhythm of the needs and the new scenarios in the professional career, you must adapt (excuse me my written English).
Ok Gator, I understand you and appreciate your interest.
I don't have formal guidance for this subject and because of that I resorted to the forum.
I'm not sure if I am doing the correct questions. As you can see in previous posts I have data input, and the data output is a calculation report...
dhengr,
It seems to me that what you wrote talks more of you that of me. You don't know me.
If you can't add something positive, please don't give me lessons about SHE.
Meanwhile the subject remains what I asked to the forum.
Yes gator, maybe it is the solution, but it remains the same easy way.
To sum it up, I want to solve it because I want to know how to do it regardless of whether the project will be executed or not.
weldstan and curtis2004 gave some tools and now I'm reading AWWA 200,206,207,208 and others...

I'm in Argentina, Mechanical Engineer and more than 10 years as Project Engineer managing Capital Investments Projects.
Now and since 1 year ago I am working in the "other side of the table" doing the detailed engineering and specifications to build metallic structures, air compressed...
Thank you for the answer,
I have no boss. My work is to do the detailed engineering for different types of subjects, eg metallic structures, In this oportunity I have to face the engineering of the water piping and this topic is very interesting for me as a Engineer.
If you could assist me I...
Dear colleagues:
I m working in a project where I have to design a water piping system DN 900 using "curved" metal Sheets ( I'm not sure if "curved" is the correct word in English).
I have an issue:
I don't know which is the a code or standard that indicates me the way to calculate and design...
