The pipe opening is located on another pipe opening reinforcement ring
Thread Content
The pipe opening is located on another pipe’s reinforcement ring – how can this situation be resolved? The distance between the two is too small, causing port A to fall within the reinforcement ring area of port B.
Refer to GB/T150, page 158, 6.4.1 a): combined reinforcement can be used.
I wonder if you are a user, a producer, or a designer? Clarify your position, and the suggestions given will be more reasonable.
It is recommended to use thick-walled pipes for reinforcement.
If it’s possible to avoid it, try adjusting the distance between the pipe ends; if that’s not feasible, use combined reinforcement
If you are the producer, that’s simple – pass the issue on to the designers so they can verify whether they conducted calculations for joint reinforcement checks during the design process.
If it is the manufacturer, just produce it according to the design drawings. If you have any doubts, you can consult the designer.
