Maximum pressure for a steel pipe

AI Thread Summary
To determine if a steel pipe with a 1500mm outer diameter and 6mm wall thickness will fail under a vacuum of 3000 Pa, calculations for stress in pressure vessels are necessary. Roark's formulas can be utilized for these calculations. However, it's important to note that 3000 Pa equates to approximately 0.44 psi, which is considered a trivial pressure for such a robust pipe. Therefore, the likelihood of failure under these conditions is minimal. Proper verification of calculations is essential to ensure accuracy.

I need to calculate whether a steel pipe above the ground, 1500mm OD and 6mm wall thickness, will fail under a vacuum of 3000 Pa. How would I go about doing this?

Sounds suspiciously like a homework question to me.

This is a pressure vessel. How do calcualte stress in a pressure vessel? What assumption can we make from those dimensions given?
 
Roark's!

But double check your numbers. 3000 Pa is only about 0.44 psi, a trivial pressure for such a pipe.
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
