Simply supported pipe, concentrated load at centre

Pipe material = API 5L Gr. B

Pipe OD d = 168.3 mm
Pipe thk t = 7.11 mm sch.40
Pipe ID d1 = 154.08 mm

Section modulus , Z = 139230.3 mm3


[3.14 (d4-d14)/32 d] = 139.2303 cm3

Yield strength of pipe material = 35000 psi


(Ys) = 2460 kg/cm2

Lenth of pipe, l = 7m
= 700 cm

Maximum permitted load = [ Mp x l/(a x (l-a))]

Where Mp= Z x Ys), Wc = 342506.6 kg-cm

length a = l/2 = 350 cm

Hence max permitted load = 1957.18 kg

Deflection

Deflection at centre = Wl3/48 EI

where Mod of elasticity, E = 2000000 kg/cm2


Moment of inertia, I = 1171.623 cm4
Lenth , l = 700 cm

Hence, deflection = 1.158827 cm

But deflection shall be limited to l/600 = 1.166667 cm


Hence permissible load (W) is back calculated as 380 kg
