Finite Element Analysis of Stamped Tees Stress in Directly Buried Heating Pipeline

Abstract:

In order to provide evidence for optimization design of directly buried heating pipeline tees, finite element models of tees with different ratios of branch-main pipe diameters had been established and simulated by structure analysis soft ANSYS. The change law of maximum equivalent stress values in pipe-nozzle intersection area had been obtained at same temperature, pressure loads and displacement constraints. The results show that maximum equivalent stress values of stamped tees are less than welded tees with same specifications. And stamped tees with lager fillet radius and local wall thickness can effectively decrease maximum equivalent stress values of pipe-nozzle intersection area.
