Brackets on the large and small ends
Thread Content
Based on the pipe stress calculation results, I need to install a support at the midpoint of the elbow of a pipe (a horizontal pipe in the Z direction), such that the pipe does not move in the X direction but can slide freely in the Z direction. It is relatively easy to create detailed drawings for such brackets; it’s just unclear whether there will be any problems during installation on site. I would like to ask the experts here if anyone has encountered a similar problem; please share your insights!
What is reasonable on paper is not necessarily reasonable in practice; in my experience, this is not feasible
Add brackets to the large and small heads? It is very difficult to estimate concentric reducers; flat-bottom reducers are feasible.
It’s a large-end fitting with a flat bottom; the key is that there must be no displacement in the X direction!
