    minimum thickness and MAWP calculation for pipe bends

    Dear marty007, Highly appreciate your explanation and it's really thoughtful for better understanding. With regards to a maximum pressure of the bends, I understood the formula to calculate as in below; ((2*t*S*Ej*W/I)/(OD-2*t*Y))*6.894757 = XXXX KPA Question: The I should be? where at the...

    minimum thickness and MAWP calculation for pipe bends

    Thank you for highlighting and just realised the unit mixed up. I have corrected according to as in below; I = [4(R1/D)-1]/[4(R1/D)-2] @ Example : I = [4(3/2.37)-1]/[4(3/2.37)-2] @ ANSWER is 1.32 and at the extrados (outside the bend radius): I = [4(R1/D)+1]/[4(R1/D)+2] @ Example : I =...

    minimum thickness and MAWP calculation for pipe bends

    Dear All, I need your assistance on the minimum thickness and MAWP calculation for pipe bends based on ASME B31.3 clause 304.2.1; The minimum required thickness of a bend after bending in its finished form is calculated by: t-min = (PD)/2[(SEW/I)+PY] where at the intrados (inside bend...
