I apologize for my own misunderstanding of what I was asking.
I think I have enough information to arrive at my conclusion (or be more confused by it).
I misinterpretted another thread.
What I am trying to predermine is what trench bed profile an empty pipe will naturally conform to without...
If you wouldn't mind taking a look at this for me, Just to check on myself
I used the following:
R = (E*D) / ((Sa)-(P*D)/(4t)), where,
R = radius in inches
E = modulous of elasticity 29842202 psi
D = pipe diamter in inches 8.625
Sa = allowable stress (SMYS) 359 mPa= 52070 psi
P =...
Thanks for this.
This has been very valuable information.
Bend radius has been a problem that no-one in my circle of contacts seemed to be able to solve

Hi
The formula used in this thread utilizes SMYS as allowable stress.
Our small utility designs every pipeline to operate below 30% SMYS should I use the 30% value or the allowable stress of the pipe, x52
This thread has been very helpful, I am trying to predermine a trench...
