Pipe Supporting calculation for Hydrant pipe

A) Calculate the force and stress for hydrant pipe

Above ground MS pipe 150 mm Nominal diameter

Distance between two supports (S) = 6000 mm

Diameter of Pipe (D) = 150mm

Density of steel ( ) = 8000 kg/m3

Pipe wall thickness (t) = 4.8 mm (refer technical data sheet)

Specific Gravity = 9.81m/s2

Load on support (W) = .D.t.S. .g

 * 0.15 * 0.0048 * 6*8*9.81

W = 1.065 N

Unit weight of bar= 18.90 kg/m

Length of bar= 6m

Total weight of bar = 18.90 * 6

= 113.4 kg * 9.81 m/s2

Wb = 1112.5 N

Weight of media

Density of water ( ) = 1000kg/m3

Density of air ( ) = 1.23 kg/ m3

Load on support (W) = ¼ * *D2.S. .g

Wm = 3.14 * 0.1502 * 3*1.23*9.81

Wm = 2.55 N

Total force on vertical support (F1) = w/2+ Wb/2+Wm/2

F1 = 558.79 N

Cross sectional area of beam = /4 (D2-d2)

 /4 (0.16652- 0.1502)

A = 4.1X10-3 m2

To find the stress on pipe

Stress on pipe = force / area

= 557.79/4.1X10-3

Stress on pipe = 136.04KN/m2

To find the supporting force of pipe

Bending Moment At A

RA = 0

RB * 6 = 557.8 * 3

RB = 557.8/6

RB = 278.82 N

Bending moment At B

RB= 0

RA* 6 = 557.8 * 3

RA = 557.8/6

RA = 278.82 N

To find the number of supports for all pipe

Total Length of the pipe = 244.1m

Distance between two supports = 6 m

No of supports * 6m = 244.1

No of supports = 244.1/6

No of supports = 40.6  41

To find total load of the pipe

W = 1.065 N

Unit weight of bar= 18.90 kg/m

Length of bar= 244.1m

Total weight of bar = 18.90 * 244.1

Wb = 45258.3N

Weight of media
