The conflict between flexibility and pressure resistance in high-temperature pipelines
Thread Content
If the flexibility of large-diameter high-temperature pipes is sufficient, their pressure resistance **decreases**. Setting up pipe racks truly requires a lot of experience! ! ! Please feel free to share your thoughts. Thank you first!
That’s right; stress calculation and the selection of various types of supports are very important.
A **decline in voltage resistance indicates insufficient flexibility**
Voltage resistance is a prerequisite for a flexible design; the wall thickness must first meet the pressure design requirements, and there is no room for negotiation on this. Only then can we talk about flexible design. Wall thickness design is a prerequisite for flexible design. It is extremely dangerous to attempt flexible passage by reducing the wall thickness!
Too few supports on the pipe rack result in poor pressure resistance, while too many supports reduce flexibility. Is there any trick to balancing this issue?
Whether it can withstand voltage is determined by the wall thickness. There are too few supports, so the stress applied at once may not meet the requirements, especially when earthquakes are taken into account. For high-temperature, large-diameter pipes, it is difficult to achieve flexibility solely by relying on the pipe’s layout if expansion joints are not used; in such cases, installing supports becomes relatively complex.
You hit the nail on the head, thank you! However, do you have any methods or experience regarding the setup of suspension brackets to reduce peak stress?

Your idea is quite strange; perhaps it’s because you don’t understand pipe stress. My suggestion is to learn something about piping and pipeline stress; you will then have a completely different and new understanding of this issue.
