COMBINING STRESSES FOR GUIDED CANTILEVER
In general, any one section or leg of pipe calculated for stress using
the~uided Cantilever method will absorb deflection from the two directions
perpendicular to this section of pipe. These two separate deflections
will give two separace scress values. These two values of stress, in
theory, should be combined; but in practi~e do NOT need to be combined.
+
The maximum amount by Which the combined stress can exceed the
largest component is 41%. This occurs when the two components
are equal. In most cases there is a significant difference
between components,and the combined stress will nearly equal
the .largest component.

If necessary to combine
When a more accurate value of stress is required, such as when using
the more sophisticated refinements of the Guided Cantilever method,
the stresses can be combined using

Notice that the wall thickness has no part in the calculations. In practice
wall thickness has a very secondary effect on stress.

FRICTION
When friction must be considered for lines of 24" pipe size or smaller,
the effect of friction is considered only to the first support on
horizontal pipe away from the nozzle. When there are weight supports
on pipe~hich is not horizontal between the nozzle and the first
support on horizontal pipe the friction effects on these intermediate
supports will also be considered. On lines with pipe sizes greater
than 24" the effect of friction is considered at all weight support
points and all other restraint points from the nozzle out to a point
where these effects will no longer influence the nozzle loads.
