Tube Pipe Circumference Butt Weld With Torque Joint Calculation
The following equations will determine the circumeferential stress applied to a a welded joint under going torque loadings.
Circumference Butt Weld Stress with Torque Shear Stress
Where: | |
= Shear stress [MPa,psi] | |
u |
= Constant Metric units u=1000 Imperial units u=12 |
W | = Section modulus throat area [mm3, in3] |
T |
= Torque applied [Nm, lb-ft] |
Comparative Stress
Where: | |
= Comparative stress [MPa,psi] | |
= Shear stress [MPa,psi] | |
= Conversion coefficient of weld joint |
