Calculation of Moment of Inertia of pipe and allowable bending inside Piping

1400 NB pipe
symbol Details Formula value
F Load in kgs 324300
r moment arm in m 1.655
M Moment in kg m M=F xr 536716.5
D Outside diameter of pipe in cms 143.2
d Inside diameter of pipe in cms 140
I Moment of Inertia in cm4 I = ∏/64(D^4 -d^4) 1784355.49
fa allowable bending stress kg/cm2 From 0.66 fy 1682
y Dim.of ext fibre form NA y=D/2 71.6
fb Actual bending stress in kg/cm2 f = M x y/I 2153.657

As the allowable bending stress is higher in value than actual bending stress
The force effect requires force to be
