Tube / Pipe Circumference Weld Joint Calculation

Weld Design Menu

The following equation will determine the stress normal to a base where the loading is applied axially.

Tube / Pipe Circumference Weld Joint Calculation

Normal Stress in Weld Base Area Formula

Normal Stress in Weld Base Area Formula

Where:

σ

= Normal stress [MPa,psi]

FZ

= Applied axial force  [N, lb]

A

= Throat are of weld [mm2,in2]

Comparative Stress 

Where:

= Comparative stress [MPa,psi]
= Normal stress  [MPa,psi]
= Conversion coefficient of weld joint
