Oops
that load should be 59400 lb, not 45950 lb.

Subject: [PipingDesign] viclaulic coupling

Hi,

I have a 16" std cs pump discharge line run vertically. There are two victaulic couplings on this line and no any support between these two couplings. So my concern is:

Is this design safe? Would the upper coupling (Which carry most of the weight of pipe and fluid inside) fail?

is there anywhere I can get the information about how much weight the coupling can carry? I've checked the victaulic website and their catalog, found nothing.

So should anyone has experience on this issue give me some help?

thanks
Robert Liu
