2" Diam Heavy Duty Flexible Exhaust Pipe (per metre)

Product Information

In addition to the importance of accounting for the soil load on buried pipe (dead load), it is also important to account for live loads, whenever applicable, such as moving vehicles (live load) when a pipe is buried under a highway or railroad embankment. One way in which this is done is by use of modified Boussinesq equations, details of which were not discussed in this article. Flexible metal conduit can be made from other materials, including advanced alloys such as Monel and Inconel, or traditional performance metals like Bronze Marston’s observations of load on buried pipe were validated in a 21-year study, from 1927 to 1948, where concrete, cast iron (both rigid pipes) and corrugated steel pipes (flexible pipe) were buried under an embankment of 15 ft. Measured loads on the pipes were compared with loads calculated by the Marston theory of loads on underground conduits, and were found to closely agree. Figure 4 presents measured loads on the concrete and corrugated steel pipe. It can be seen that the load on the concrete pipe was consistently 50 percent greater than that on the corrugated steel pipe of approximately the same diameter.

A positive embankment installation condition, where the pipe is installed underneath an embankment, in shallow bedding, with its top projecting above the surface of the natural ground, is another commonly-encountered scenario for buried pipe design and installation. The loads and shearing forces just discussed for trench conditions also play a key role in embankment conditions. As indicated in figure 3a and 3b, the imaginary vertical planes extending upward from the sides of a buried pipe are the planes along which relative movements are assumed to occur and on which shearing forces are generated. Manufactured by Pegler with an integrated aluminium layer which allows the pipe to retain its shape when bent, our Tectite metal pipe coils come in lengths of 25 m, 50 m and 400 m. There is a great variety of possible end fittings and connections, typically the two end fittings are dissimilar; we can accommodate any requirement as long as the material and fitting are weldable. The most common fitting styles are: Weld end The Stainless steel braided hose is perfect for industries working with heating, ventilation and automation. This is due to the hose’s high resistance to pressure and also due to their durability. This range of hose usually comes in a variety of bore sizes and lengths, also with different end connections. Stainless Steel Hose Construction Pressure armor– A number of structural layers consisting of helically wound C-shaped metallic wires and/or metallic strips. The pressure armor layers provide resistance to radial loads.

Ren SF (2015) Study on the cross-section mechanical properties and typical failure characteristics of Unbonded flexible risers [Doctor’s thesis]. Shanghai Jiaotong University While an understanding of pipe-soil interaction is important for the sound structural design of pipelines, it should be noted that the concern for soil pressure on a pipe is limited to empty pipe or gravity flow pipelines where the conduit never flows full. In municipal pressure piping systems, the internal pressure is typically much greater than soil pressure on the pipe; internal pressure essentially supports the soil load when the line is placed into service.

Jan 2017 The end fitting material does not need to be the same as the hose – carbon steel fittings with stainless steel hose is a common choice. You may specify any weldable material for the end fitting or a screwed fitting welded to the hose and any threaded fitting coupled to it.

DIN 3384: Stainless steel flexible hose assemblies for gas applications-safety requirements, testing, marking The value of soil load analysis is to arrive at the required pipe strength necessary to build a municipal pipeline of sufficient structural integrity to serve its design life. The design process varies from rigid to flexible pipe, and usually by pipe material also. The second part of this series in the next issue will review current design practices for rigid and flexible pipes with regards to earth loading. Connect Tectite Tube direct to the boiler* and all the way through to Tectite ended TRV’s, tap connectors and much more besides For pressure hoses with braided reinforcement, the corrugation stress comes mainly from the bending of the hose. Therefore, the corrugation stresses can be controlled by setting a limitation on the bending. In other words, the installation is acceptable if the hose is not bent beyond the limiting radius. Similar to the situation discussed in the bellow expansion joint, the mode of failure of the hose corrugation is due to fatigue. Therefore, the bend radius limitation depends also on the number of operating cycles expected. Most manufacturers provide two limiting radii, one for static applications involving a one-time fit-up installation, and the other for operational movement involving many cycles of intermittent flexing. The whole design and installation process actually ensures that this minimum radius is maintained during the initial layout and throughout the operation.
