WORKSTRING BUCKLING

REQUIRED INFORMATION Workstring OD Workstring ID Pipe Wall Thickness Yield Strength Unsupported Length 0 0 0 0 0 inches inches inches psi inches This worksheet is used to to determine the bucklimg mode and required surface pressure to possibly cause the workstring to buckle.

STEP 1 COLUMN SLENDERNESS RATIO #DIV/0! STEP 2 EFFECTIVE SLENDERNESS RATIO Moment of Inertia 0.0000 Area of Steel 0.000 Radius of Gyration #DIV/0! Effective Slenderness Ratio #DIV/0! or #DIV/0! >>>>>> Use the larger of the two

Four parts

READ THIS CAREFULLY!! If the Column Slenderness Ratio (Step 1) > Effective Slenderness Ratio the pipe is prone to Local Buckling - go to STEP 3 If the Effective Slendernes Ratio (Step 2) > Column Slenderness Ratio the pipe is prone to Major Axis Buckling - go to Step 4

SELECTED EFFECTIVE SLENDERNESS RATIO (user input) 0 STEP 3 LOCAL BUCKLING #DIV/0! Pounds of Force STEP 4 MAJOR AXIS BUCKLING #DIV/0! Pounds of Force STEP 5 REQUIRED SURFACE PRESSURE TO CAUSE BUCKLING Calculated Buckling Force = 0 (User input from above) #DIV/0! psi
