hi to all...
Need help!!!

i am working on the analysis of RTRP line using BS7159 Code.. i want to know is there any impact or change on stress analysis by the type of RTRP joints (bonded joints, threaded joints or adhesive type).


Thnks to all .

The analysis in itself will be the same. You should only check if both the circumferential and axial strength of the joint is the same as for the pipe itself.

Thnks for ur quick reply,,

So, these circumferential and axial strength of the joints will be provided by RTRP vendor.. m i right..

Yes. All RTRP properties should come from the vendor. In contradiction to steel, which is normalised (A106grB from supplier A should be the same as from supplier B), RTRP is not normalised. Each manufacturer has it's own production specifications and thus material specifications. If you have a lot of experience in the RTRP field you can estimate the specs. Best is to always check with the vendor though.
