As shown in illustration, I have a pipe with details listed below and it is clamped at both ends. Clamps are tightened by applying a torque of 15Nm. How could i find out if the support provided between the clamps, in this case a U bolt supporting at a length from one end of Clamp would be sufficient under 1G loading condition.
Total length of pipe = 4 meters
OD=5"
Wall thickness = 1.5mm
Total mass of pipe = 5 kg
Thank you all folks out here..
Appreciate your help.
