Best of Pipe

The document discusses key characteristics of pipes used for oil and gas transportation. It defines parameters such as outer diameter, wall thickness, steel grade, yield strength, modulus of elasticity, moment of inertia, which determine a pipe's axial and bending stiffness. It also covers how to calculate the maximum bending moment and radius of curvature a pipe can withstand before yielding, as well as formulas for submerged lineic weight and bending strain as the ratio of pipe radius to curvature radius.
