Hello everyone, I would like to ask about deflection limits for plastic piping.
I have a project where I used pipe stress analysis software to evaluate the stresses in a PPH pipe with a diameter of d160.
The simulation results show that the utilization is within the allowable limits. However, the calculated deflection is slightly higher than the DVS guideline (15 mm > 5 mm (L/150) ).
May I ask, if the stresses are acceptable but the deflection does not meet the guideline, what kinds of problems could this cause? Thank you for your feedback.
