I am performing an assessment of a reel that is used to transport pipe. DNV Rules for Certification of lifting appliances states that the outward load on the flanges is one third of the radial load on the drum. This section of the code relates to winches. Is it still valid for pipe with say an outer diameter of 150mm?
