Thanks for your reply's Baluncore,

Hello,
I'm stuck on what should be a fairly simple problem. Trying to calculate the size of motor required to rotate steel pipe at 0.33RPM around its axis, on 2 sets of rollers, 4 wheels total (hard rubber).
Pipe
48" OD Mild Steel pipe 0.5WT
24m in Length
Rollers
4 x 12" Rubber...
