Right now, we are having some questions on cooling water pipeline stress analysis.
The OD is 2800mm, the thickness is 15mm, Max T=55C and Min T=15C, the material is A53B.
Q1.as this pipeline is follow AWWA code, the owner is asking to follow B31.1, the intersection(without intensified)'s SIF is too high, if we follow B31.3, what's the real SIF should be?
