CPVC Piping Stress Analysis - 09/06/17 08:20 AM

Hi All,
I am going to do CPVC Stress Analysis

While asking the Allowable Stress value for CPVC from Vendor for the Design and Operating temperature, whether F1 & F2 values are required from vendor. Can any one explain me as FI says location factor and F2 Says Temperature derating factor.

Below are the required inputs from vendor . Kindly confirm any additional inputs required

1.Cold Elastic Modulus
2.Hot Elastic Modulus for Design temperature
3Hot Elastic Modulus for operating temperature
4.Poisons Ratio
5.Allowable stress at design and operating temperature



Best Regards

Traditional flexibility analysis is not suitable for plastics. Your vendor should provide specialized guidance on how to design your pipe.
