HDPE Flange analysis - 06/08/09 10:55 AM
I realize that Caesar analysis is not perfect for HDPE piping. I am trying to use Cesar to get a general idea of the stresses we will see during line installation. I am wondering, is it useful to perform flange analysis for HDPE piping? No gasket is needed because of the malleable nature of the HDPE flanges. Also the flanges would not act as rigid bodies.
Any advice?
