On the tee problem in stress analysis software
Thread Content
230 degrees, 11 kg of steam; 50 branch pipes connected to the DN400 main pipe. Which type of tee should be used? Should I just use an unreinforced tee?
If a hole is made directly without reinforcement, then that is…
I have another question: in a fixed bracket, is the horizontal thrust on the sliding bracket essentially 0, with the forces canceling each other out?
It is possible to order a DN400*50 tee directly, or to connect the pipes first and then make openings plus weld on the branch pipe connections
Of course not... The horizontal force on the sliding bracket is frictional force; there is force as long as there is displacement.
Unless specially customized, there are no such tees
Regardless of which one, you use software for calculations; the stress increase varies for different types of tees, and it is sufficient to meet the requirements for the 1st and 2nd order stresses
