    Pipeline buoyancy

    Ussuri: I got the equations from "Pipeline Rules of Thumb" 5th Edition by E.W. McAllister, p. 104.

    Pipeline buoyancy

    When determining if a pipe will float in seawater, can you simply compare the weight of the pipe with the weight of the displaced water (Archimededs Principle)? I am convinced that 4" sch.80 (.337" wall) will not float but some formulas for buoyancy that I have found do not agree with the...

    Bolt tension as a function of tensile strength

    Thanks for the information. I'll probably go with 75% of tensile strength. That number was also referenced on the zerofast website (Thanks, Pressed!)
