Shear calculation for round pipe

In summary, the person needs help with lifting a steel structure using a crane and a pipe that is 200mmOD x 160mmID and 100mm long, with a 12mm plate x 250Dia welded at the end. The steel structure weighs 7500Kg and the crane has a cable with a loop that can fit around the pipe. However, it is unclear if the pipe will be strong enough according to standard safety lifting requirements of 2.5:1. It is recommended to consult an engineer for review of the lift plans.

Can someone please help me.

I have a pipe 200mmOD x 160mmID welded to a Steel structure
The pipe is 100mm long with a 12mm plate x 250Dia welded at the end of the pipe.
The steel structure weighs 7500Kg
I have to lift the structure with a crane. The crane has a cable with a loop which can fit around the pipe.

question:

Will the pipe be strong enough given the standard safety lifting requirement is 2.5:1

Thanks

It's not clear from your description how this lift is to be accomplished. Is there one pipe or more than one pipe? What is the size of the structure being lifted? Where are the pipe or pipes located on the structure with respect to the c.g. of the structure?

IMO, you should engage an engineer to review your lift plans.
 

1. What is shear calculation for round pipe?

Shear calculation for round pipe is a method used to determine the maximum shear stress that a round pipe can withstand before it fails. It involves calculating the shear stress at various points along the pipe and comparing it to the material's shear strength.

2. Why is shear calculation important for round pipes?

Shear calculation is important for round pipes because it helps engineers and designers understand the structural integrity of the pipe and ensure that it can withstand the forces it may be subjected to during use. It also helps in selecting the appropriate material and dimensions for the pipe.

3. How is shear calculation for round pipe performed?

Shear calculation for round pipe can be performed using various methods such as the Mohr's circle method, the shear strain method, or the Von Mises method. These methods involve calculating the shear stress at various points along the pipe and comparing it to the material's shear strength.

4. What factors affect shear calculation for round pipe?

The factors that affect shear calculation for round pipe include the material properties of the pipe such as its shear strength and modulus of elasticity, the dimensions and thickness of the pipe, and the external forces acting on the pipe.

5. What are some common applications of shear calculation for round pipe?

Shear calculation for round pipe is commonly used in the design and analysis of various structures such as pipelines, pressure vessels, and support structures. It is also used in the manufacturing process to ensure the structural integrity of the pipes being produced.
