Restrained Pipe Stress Calculation
Hoop stress Sh = PD / 2t
Sh = 171.73469 MPa
Longitudinal Stress due to Internal Pessure SP = Sh
SP = 51.520408 MPa
Thermal stress (Compressive) Stc = Eα (Ti ‐ T2) = ‐153.6768 MPa
Thermal stress (Tensile) Stt = Eα (Ti ‐ T1) = 40.8204 MPa
Bending Stress based on Von mises Equivalent stress Criteria
SL = {SH±SH2‐4(SH2‐(0.9ST)2)]}/2
SL1 = 243.75 Mpa Value > 0.9ST
SL2 = ‐72.01 Mpa Value<=0.9ST
Allowable Bending Stress values
SB1 = SL‐SLc SB3 352.80
SB1 = 37.04 Mpa
SB2 = SL‐SLt SB4 158.31
SB2 = ‐157.45 Mpa
Minimum Allowable Elastic bend radius
Allowable Bending Stress SB = 37.04 Mpa
Min. Allowable Bending Radius R = ED/2SB
