What is the purpose of the torque value obtained from CAESAR calculations? It represents the torque at that point. Is this torque value not useful for providing load conditions to the civil engineering team?
It’s useful for providing load conditions to the civil engineering field
For civil engineering and equipment engineering, to verify the stress on pipe connections, etc.
Are you referring to the torque in the “restraints summary” or the torque within “Global force”? It limits the torque value indicated in the summary; if it relates to a support point, it is provided to the civil engineering team as a basis for scaffold design, while if it relates to a pipe outlet point, it is used to verify the forces acting on the equipment’s ports ； Both global force and local force are used to verify the stress on the pipe outlet (elbow connections)
The torque value at the device’s ports is very important; if it is too high, it can cause damage to the ports. It is necessary to keep the forces and torques acting on these ports as low as possible in order to extend their lifespan. For pumps and some other special devices, the manufacturers specify acceptable ranges for the forces and torques at the inlet and outlet ports. Therefore, the calculated values must fall within these specified ranges, otherwise it will be detrimental to the equipment.
