Maximum Force on pipe Clamp it rotates or slips

[N360]

Hello,

Is there anyone who kows how to calculate the force on a pipe clamp before it rotates or slips.


Thank you very much...

Hello N360!

Usual friction equation: normal force is the clamp force, and calculate the applied force from the applied torque.

I would say that the maximum force on a pipe clamp before it rotates or slips can be calculated using the principles of mechanics and materials science. The force required to cause rotation or slipping will depend on factors such as the material and dimensions of the pipe, the type and strength of the clamp, and the surface conditions of both the pipe and the clamp. It is important to consider the potential for static and dynamic forces as well as any external factors such as temperature or vibration. To accurately calculate this force, it may be necessary to conduct experiments or simulations using appropriate equipment and techniques. I would recommend consulting with an engineer or conducting further research to determine the specific calculations and methods needed for your particular situation.
