Stress-free alignment of pipes at equipment outlets
Thread Content
Dear Haihao friends, for the connections of equipment, such as the inlet of pump equipment, is it necessary to achieve stress-free alignment during pipeline installation? Is it necessary to add adjustable brackets at the inlet? The specifications have mentioned such brackets, but I haven’t seen them in actual projects. Could everyone give some advice? If possible, please provide the relevant standards and specifications. Thank you everyone!
It’s not necessary; all device interfaces have a range of allowable stress, which the manufacturer will provide. However, stress analysis must be conducted on the interface to ensure that the stress under various operating conditions does not exceed the allowable values.
