Hi Prex
Do you mean that L is the distance on center line of each of the miter or is the distance of the center of the elbow to each of the termination.
thanks
ASTM B31.3 ON PARA.- 304.2.4 .- THE WALL THGICKNESS OF CURVED AND MITERED SEGMENTS OF PIPE SUBJECTED TO EXTERNAL PRESSURE MAY BE DETERMINED IN PARA.- 304.1.3
THE QUESTION IS ON A MITERED ELBOW WE CAN USE L THE DISTANCE OF EACH MITER SECTION ????
IF THE l IS OK TO HAVE THE PRESSURE REQUERIDDED...
Thanks John
the duct is 4000 mm diameter and have 8mm thikness D/t = 500
the external pressure is 100 mBar and the temperature is 760°F
what is beam teory program , I have pipepak and I think use this teory ??
Im involved on a flexibility analysis of a hot gase duct that operate a external pressure .
the mitered elbows have circunferencial reinforsment.
how can I calculate the SIF incluiding that ribs.
