Well with that said how do I account for the temperature. The elastic modulus was 29,000,000 lb/in^2 before the 200 degrees F in taken into consideration, I'm sure with such a low temperature it can't have much effect..
I am trying to determine the deflection of a pipe between two supports. Does anyone have an equation that I could use to predict the deflection. I want to take the temperature, psig and saddles into account. I'm not asking for the answer just the way to find it.
Thanks
