Pipes Welding

[Cagou]

I need to weld 2 pipes like a T diam 1", sch40 carbon steel. A torque will be applied on it. what are the calculations to determine if the welding between the two pipes will be strong enough for the use?

Would you please send the torque value I will solve using finite element and I will give you the answer

As the range of the torque value can change, I need to know how much the weld will transmit before it breaks. So I need the maximum torque value that will be support by the weld.
Thanks for your help.

There seems to be a lot of info missing with this question---length of pipes, wall thickness, type (ERW, DOM, etc.) type of weld (almost ANY weld or braze will be stronger than the tubing) This would be a good question on a test paper, hmmmmm!

The wall thickness is precised by the sch40 pipe for diam1" (0.133), length of the two pipes:18". Material ASTM A53, I will try different type of weld, or material strength... once I will have some calculation to work with. I already worked on the maximum torque that can be supported by the material itself. Now I just need some information about what kind of welding I can use there. If you tell me that any kind of welding will be stronger than the tubing, then I have the answer I need, except that I don't have any figure to justify it.
Thanks
